Translucent Paper for Window Stars (Waldorf Stars)


Translucent Paper - Kite Paper - Glassine Paper

Translucent paper (sometimes called kite paper or glassine) can be used to make many crafts but it is most commonly used to make window stars (also called Waldorf stars, sun catchers) or actual kites. The paper is thin, glossy, and holds a crease very well making it perfect for origami folding too. But because the paper is semi-transparent, it is most often used in crafts that allow light to pass through.
