Handmade Lokta Paper Garland- Bee
We are a BUZZ about the Handmade Lokta Paper Bee Garland. Each bee features a variety of decorative Lokta papers combined to make each one unique. These bees are made by hand in Nepal. A women's cooperative cuts and assembles each element of the bees body and sews the bees together into an approximately 5 1/2 foot long garland. The decorative paper is also made by hand. The Lokta paper is made using bark of the Daphne plant. The bark is sustainably harvested while the plant remains alive. Then the bark is formed into sheets and hand screen printed. Use the Handmade Lokta Paper Bee Garland to decorate for your next party!

Read more about Lokta papers in our blog post:
"Lokta paper is made from the bark of a Daphne bush, which grows exclusively at the foot of the Himalayan mountains. The inner bark provides extremely long fibers to create paper, which gives Lokta paper a very durable quality. To create the Lokta paper, the bark is striped from a living bush which not only helps the bush to grow, but the bark completely regenerates in six to seven years. (A truly eco-friendly paper!) The inner bark is cooked, beaten down into a wet pulp, and scooped up into paper molds. Color is added to the paper through natural bark and flower based dyes, and this paper never touches chemicals or bleaches. Not only is Lokta paper hand pulled, it is also hand-dyed, hand screen printed, and batiked (stamped with wax) making every sheet unique in color and weight."
