Handmade Paper Vessels

Handmade Paper Vessels | Wild Paper handmade paper

It is both easy and enjoyable to create paper vessels from handmade paper. The feathered edges of torn handmade lokta paper will give your finished project that professional look of a piece created by an artist.

This technique will also suit those who like making pots and ceramics but with the added advantage that you don’t need any special equipment. Vessels made with lokta paper are light like thin porcelain, but surprisingly hard and strong.

    b. Paper Vessel over a Pumpkin
    This last project uses a pumpkin, but you can also experiment with a melon, a pomegranate or another hard-skinned fruit. You create a handmade paper vessel around the pumpkin, cut the paper vessel open to remove it, and then stick the paper vessel back together again with pieces of handmade paper. Check out the handmade paper pumpkin bowl page for details.
