Creating beautiful art takes a lot of time, patience, and, of course, the right materials. Luckily, you don’t have to spend as much time finding the right paper for your next art or craft project. That’s because Staples has a selection of art and craft paper that will let you spend more time creating and less time searching for the right supplies.
Art and craft paper, in particular, are materials that can make or break a design. There are many different types and textures that all serve different artistic purposes, so it can be daunting to choose between them if you’ve never used them before. To help you navigate this decision, we’re going to dive into the types of art craft paper we have in our inventory, along with their key uses.
How is Art and Craft Paper Different From Other Types of Paper?
Art and craft paper are essential when creating art projects, but it’s common to wonder why people choose to use these types of papers instead of varieties like notebook or printer paper. Basically, art or craft paper is specifically designed to hold up to the demands of creating art. This type of paper comes in a wide variety of colors, textures, and thicknesses and has particular applications that it’s best suited for, like illustrating, painting, or scrapbooking.
Think of it this way – not all paper is created equal. You wouldn’t use notebook paper when printing out a document because it’s too thin, so you would reach for printer paper. Similarly, if you want to create a piece of art, you would want to get a paper variety that will showcase it in the best way possible.
What are the Different Types of Art Paper?
In addition to art and craft paper being different from other types of paper, they are also different from each other. Art paper is designed to be a relatively neutral medium where people can create art pieces. There are many different types of art paper, each serving their own purpose for when creativity strikes.
- Sketch Pads/Drawing Books: Sketch pads are high-quality books of blank paper that many artists use to draft designs and keep track of their drawings.
- Tracing Paper: Tracing paper is a low-opacity, transparent paper that allows light to pass through for artists to trace whatever is behind the paper. Choose rolls of tracing paper for large projects, or sheets for smaller projects.
- Watercolor Paper: Watercolor paper is a thick type of paper that is designed to be ideal for wet inks and mixed media creations.
What are the Different Types of Craft Paper?
Craft paper is a specialty paper used primarily for crafting projects such as scrapbooking, decoupage, and creating banners and posters. There are a lot of craft paper options to choose from, but here is a list of some of the most popular types we have in stock.
- Design/Craft Paper: Design and craft paper comes in many different sizes and thicknesses and is used for different applications from origami to scrapbooking. Craft paper also comes in unique colors and designs for a variety of projects.
