How To Create Wedding Invitations From Sheep Poo
How to create wedding invitations and help save the environment at the same time is now completely possible thanks to Creative Paper Wales which is one of only two craft papermills in the UK. Nestled in the foothills of the Snowdonia mountain range they make the well known and popular range of Sheep Poo Paper™ products. They are a zero waste, low energy operation and they make a great range of environmentally friendly wedding stationery - all viewable on their funny and original website www.sheeppoopaper.com We were lucky to ask Lawrence Toms from Creative Paper Wales probably the question you all want to know - why?! (and a few others as well) * How did you get the idea to make paper from Sheep Poo? (Or maybe I should have said where?!) We saw a BBC News piece online about Roo Poo Paper from Tasmania and we thought a Welsh sheepy version was too tempting! * When did you make your first piece of paper? We trialled the concept in my sister's kitchen end 2005 * What did you use it for? We made about 30 sheets, and took them to show to potential investors ! * You make wedding stationery from all sorts of items and I noticed you even made wedding invitations from plants a couple had picked, what can you make paper from? You can make paper from pretty much anything that has good length cellulose fibre in it. * Tell us about your wedding stationery you currently have. We do a range of items, from invitations and congratulations cards, place name cards and save-the-date bookmarks.? All of the above come in a standard range but can also be customised to each customer's requirements. * How much of an environmental saving is buying wedding stationery from you instead of 'normal' shop bought paper? We don't cut down trees to make our paper, it is 100% recycled and our papermill has zero waste products. What is the best thing you have ever made from your paper? We have made flowers in the past from Sheep Poo Paper™ - I have attached an image for you to see!?? 
We had to put the photo up as Lawrence is very proud of his flowers, their wedding stationery is more subtle than this and well worth a look! Plus what a great way to start your green wedding planning.
