käsitööpaber

Käsitööpaber, also known as craft paper or specialty paper, refers to a broad category of papers designed for artistic, decorative, and craft purposes rather than for everyday printing or writing. These papers often possess unique textures, colors, weights, or surface treatments that enhance their suitability for a variety of creative applications.

Common types of käsitööpaber include construction paper, known for its durability and vibrant colors, often used by children. Tissue paper, lightweight and translucent, is popular for decorative projects, gift wrapping, and paper crafts like quilling. Cardstock, a heavier weight paper, provides a sturdy base for scrapbooking, card making, and invitations.

Specialty papers can also encompass those with metallic sheens, embossed patterns, recycled content, or natural fibers like cotton or linen. Their surfaces may be smooth, rough, or have a linen-like texture. The choice of käsitööpaber depends on the desired aesthetic, the crafting technique being employed, and the intended longevity of the finished piece. Artists and crafters select these papers to add visual interest, tactile qualities, and a professional finish to their creations.
