1800s antique paper ribbons for papermaking - 4 oz | 113 g

Unearthed from New England barns and antique broken books, these delicate fragments of real 19th-century paper once held sermons, ledgers, sheet music, and letters - now lovingly recycled into paper ribbons for your creative soulwork. Shredded in our Texture Apothecary studio, each bundle contains hundreds of paper ribbons: browned edges, faded ink, fragments of forgotten stories, and whispers of a time long past.   Papermaking: Add to your pulp blend for authentic texture and romantic specks of vintage script. Art Batts: Blend into fiber layers to add organic contrast, surprise, and subtle structure. Weaving & Felting: Trap fragments under tulle for ghostly textile effects. Mixed Media & Journals: Collage, stitch, or glue into spreads, tags, or shadow boxes. I enjoy carding these textures into art batts and spinning them into mixed media yarns, but they're also fun for paper making and decoupage!
