Description
Handmade Marigold Jacaranda Lokta Wrap Paper is a testament to the fusion of artistic craftsmanship and nature’s exquisite beauty. Artisans meticulously handcraft this unique wrapping paper from the fibrous inner bark of the Daphne Cannabina papyracea shrub, also known as “Lokta.” The Marigold Jacaranda, thoughtfully embedded within the paper fibers, bring a touch of nature’s elegance to your gift-giving.
It is a shrub that remains evergreen and is found between altitudes of 1600 to 4000 meters on the southern slopes of the Himalayan country of Nepal. Lokta has the ability of regenerating within 5 to 7 years after harvesting. Collecting the bark with environmental awareness leaves large-scale “Lokta” resources untapped.
Its special texture, exceptional durability, and resistance to tearing, humidity, insects, and mildew make this indigenous handmade paper renowned. People recorded the oldest available manuscripts of Buddhist texts, royal edicts, and legal documents on this paper.
The paper making process involves cooking the bark twice, washing, chopping, and beating it with a wooden hammer. To create Lokta paper, they pour the soft pulp over a wooden-framed fine mesh. Subsequently, they spread it evenly by gently shaking the floating frame in water, and then they proceed to sun-dry it.
Whether you’re wrapping a special gift, creating unique craft projects, or adding a touch of elegance to your stationery, Handmade Marigold Jacaranda Lokta Wrap Paper is your versatile and eco-friendly solution. With its captivating design and rich cultural heritage, it provides the perfect finishing touch for your creative endeavors.
