Is There A Place Where There's Good Paper On Bangladesh?
Hi Y'all! I Live In Bangladesh And All There Is Are: Standaed Paper, Kraft, Kami, foil and tissue. The Best Paper I Can Make Is Tissue Foil But The Tissue Paper Doesn't Come In Colors. Just Plain WHITE. So Anybody Know Some Places???

I am not sure about Bangladesh but here in india, tissue is Kite paper. Just ask for that. Also If you can find handmade papers try banana and lokta!

Tracing paper is slightly thicker than kite paper. Just ask for Kite paper and try your luck!

why not paint or dye the white paper? use acylic paint or ink to make it the exact color you want. if you want duo dye two sheets, put a coat of white pain on the back of the darker color and glue them together using a water soluable glue. if you are making foil no need for the white unless you want to cut down on the shimmer that will come through from the foil, in which case paint the foil white. custom paper to your exact specifications for pennys.sr123ification wrote:Hi Y'all!

tissue is definetly NOT called kite paper in india. People here use it for book binding as its very thin and super strong.Kraft is availabe in bangladesh? give it a try its a awesome paper and also strong. =)
