How Konnyaku Starch changed everything about Momigami

Описание: I wasn't sure if I'd ever try Konnyaku (Konjac) Starch. It sounded like a hassle, messy, complicated, and unnecessary, but I wanted stronger paper for my slow-stitching projects. I have to say the results were nothing like I expected!

Momigami—or kneaded paper—is an ancient Japanese technique that transforms ordinary paper into something soft, durable, and fabric-like. I've always used hand lotion, but the idea of using Konnyaku starch was a game-changer I almost missed. Check it out and see if it is worth the effort.
