SnapPap

ByAtelier LAV

SnapPap is one of my favourite discoveries of recent years – a special creative paper that combines the advantages of paper and fabric.

SnapPap is machine washable, can be dyed, printed and sewn with a sewing machine – making it wonderfully suited to textile creations of all kinds.

The material consists of more than 60% cellulose, obtained from trees of northern European, sustainably managed forests (mainly spruce). The remaining ingredients are latex and colour pigments. SnapPap is vegan, contains neither pentachlorophenol, PVC nor BPA – and is neither harmful to the environment nor to health. It is produced in Germany.

What particularly excites me: SnapPap is tear-resistant, can be worked without finishing the edges and is easy to sew. The surface is abrasion-resistant and produces neither fluff nor pilling.

In short: a material that surprises – and convinces.

I also use SnapPap myself for some of my creations – you can find these here:

The correct and most ecological preparation of the pigments is often accompanied by the preparation of the material to be dyed. What is important here: the chosen colours should be as lightfast and wash-resistant as possible – meaning they should neither fade quickly nor lose intensity when washed. Two of the few natural plant-based colour pigments that…

    DIY Screen Printing

    ByAtelier LAV

    DIY screen printing at home – this may sound complex, but it is absolutely possible. Even classic screen printing with light-sensitive emulsion works at home – and it is worth it: this method is far more durable than printing with cut-out stencil motifs. What you need for it: the right equipment, enough dark space – and a proper printing table. And of course: patience and a joy for experimenting. Exposing the screen. For this…
