Set of three Fair Trade paper stars handmade by artisans in the Kathmandu valleys of Nepal. Made from fibres from the evergreen lokta plant, which grows in abundance in the forests and regenerates into a fully grown plant in just over five years. Each set comes with with a silk ribbon, hand-frayed by a Fair Trade co-operative, which can be used for hanging or to tie in a bow. Packaged in a small box also made from Nepalese lokta papers. To construct your rosettes, remove the white paper strip, fold out the concertina layers, and stick the two sides together.
Founded in 1993, the small family-run factory supports deaf and blind artisans and ensures any scraps of paper are recycled.
Keep away from fire.
