Papyrus paper is a paper made from the Cyperus Papyrus plant, it was widely used by Egyptians for many things such as boat construction, basket making and paper! Papyrus is still used today in many ways in more rural communities.

Papyrus paper is paper made of Cyperus papyrus, which is a plan that grows in Egypt. Ancient Egyptians were the first people to start using papyrus stems to make paper. Papyrus paper shares many characteristics of the conventional paper that we use today; however, the ancient people would usually make scrolls rather than books like we have today.

Papyrus paper is made from the Egyptian plant papyrus. It is made into cards and stationaries and designed to look like antique paper which is light yellowish or beige in color. It is lightweight but durable. It is also used for paintings.

Papyrus paper is a paper that is traced back to ancient Egypt. It is made with water, and also from the Papyrus plant. Many believe that Papyrus goes hand in hand with celebration, so using this paper for your invitations would be very fitting!
