Printing & Sewing on Real Wood Paper

“To Plant A Garden is to Believe in Tomorrow” is a beautiful quote by Audrey Hepburn. A beautiful & talented artist friend of ours was commissioned to draw and design a digital graphic for us to use just for this project. She oozes talent as you can quite clearly see.

Printing & Sewing and Real Wood Paper
To Plant A Garden quote by Audrey Hepburn

We used 2 species of wood for this project. We used 1 sheet of  Aspen .010″ Fleece Back 8.5″ x 11″ Long Grain and 1 sheet of Cherry .025″ Wood Back 8.5″ x 11″ Long Grain.

To Plant A Garden quote by Audrey Hepburn

Printing on Real Wood Paper

While we do recommend Short Grain direction for portrait prints, our Aspen .010″ Fleece Back Long Grain sheet went through the HP ENVY Photo 7855 printer just fine. (The .016″ Paper Back Long Grain did not go through as a Portrait print. Use Short Grain as a Portrait print.)

We get asked all the time about what printer do you recommend. There are far too many printers available for us to test print on every printer. And frankly, we aren’t in the printing business. We just want to bring beautiful, all natural wood sheets into your creative world.

We used a photo printer for this project which is NOT a Laser Printer. We always recommend a Laser Printer or seeking a professional printing company. However, we have been testing the waters with this HP ENVY Photo 7855. It’s doing ok. There is some bleeding on the Aspen, if you look closely. This is why we recommend Laser Printers. Ink Jet printers ink is wet, takes time to dry and during that drying time…the ink can bleed aka follow the wood grains. We always recommend testing with your specific printer. We mention this printer because it has done a really nice job printing on maple and cherry. Aspen is a grainier wood which tends to allow for more ink bleeding.

Sewing on Real Wood Paper

Not only did we go against all odds and use a non-laser printer on this project BUT we also hand sewed the corners. Yep. You heard that right! You can sew Real Wood Paper. Our .010″ thick Fleece back and .016″ thick Paper back sheets can be sewn on a sewing machine! For this project though, we needed a little more exactness on the corners so we opted for hand sewing.

First, we used a guide and needle tool to punch through the wood. Threaded up our needle and away we went!

This project was actually very quick and easy. The finished print size is approx 6″ x 7″. We used Beacon’s 3-in-1 Glue to adhere the Aspen Fleece Back to the Cherry Wood Back prior to sewing the corners. This was maybe a 1 hour project start to finish. Cute. Unique. and Perfect for our Greenhouse.

Real Wood Paper Thickness/Backing Explained. Find Real Wood Paper Thickness/Backing Explained. Find out which one is right for your project.

FLEECE BACKED (.010″ thick)
is a very thin, sheer, flexible backing appropriate for dollhouse enthusiasts, candle wraps, lamp shades, envelope liners…anything where flexibility, luminosity and light-in-weight is a must. The backing material looks and feels similar to very thin vellum. It is also excellent for adhering to another material such as cardstock, wood, etc. (.010″ Thick = 10 PT/165 GSM)

PAPER BACKED (.016″ thick)
is slightly thicker than the Fleece backing. The paper backing has a texture and is excellent for adhering to other backing materials such as cardstock, wood, etc. This thickness is frequently used as wedding invitations that are glued to a larger sheet of cardstock backing. It has great flexibility for printing, textured backing to ‘grab’ adhesive and creates a beautiful, sturdy invitation, announcement, etc. (.016″ Thick = 16 PT/265 GSM)

WOOD BACKED (.025″ thick)
is very strong and sturdy yet still has the flexibility to run through laser printers using the straight feed feature. There is wood on both sides which is perfect for announcements, menus, invitations, programs and more. You get to see the beauty of the wood on both sides. (.025″ Thick = 25 PT/414 GSM)

Thanks So Much Wood Card! Did you know you can cut Thanks So Much Wood Card! Did you know you can cut our .010" thick Fleece Sheets with Die Cut Machines and Paper Punches? Yes you can! Although our thinnest sheets are called Fleece backed sheets, it's not actually fleece like in the fabric fleece. Think more like vellum. It's very thin, translucent, and sheer yet adds stability and flexibility to the wood. It truly is a unique product. www.RealWoodPaper.com
