What is kraft-tex?
Kraft-tex is a rugged paper that looks, feels, and wears like leather, but sews, cuts, and washes just like fabric. Its flexible and lightweight quality makes it easy to work with yet strong enough for tough wear. No matter your craft skill level,kraft-tex is a forgiving material with many possibilities.
This cruelty-free leather alternative comes in several different colors and sizes, but they have the same qualities in common — you can sew it, stamp it, paint it, emboss it, draw or inkjet-print on it!
Let’s talk color. kraft-tex has many colors to choose from to match your project vision or mood. kraft-tex Basics comes in the colors Natural, Black, White, Chocolate, and Stone.
Designer kraft-tex comes in vibrant colors like Greenery, Blue Iris, Radiant Orchid, Marsala, Tangerine Tango, Blue Turquoise, and more saturated, beautiful choices.
If you’re going for a more sophisticated, neutral, or boho style, try one of the Vintage kraft-tex colors like Moss, Denim, Saffron, Linen, Emerald, Crimson, and Sapphire (and more).
