Papering the House -- with Liquid Cardboard!

In the March/April 2015 issue of Special Events, there was an article about "Liquid Cardboard", very eco-conscious!  Here is that article -- is this something you would look into getting for your next event?

Event planners who want to stress eco-consciousness at their events might want to consult the board -- the cardboard, that is.

The company, Liquid Cardboard, offers a range of products -- from decor pieces to hats to vases -- made from 100% recycled/recyclable honeycomb cardboard.



Each piece is created by gently twisting a section of the flexible cardboard into various shapes.  The vases are created by inserting any watertight vessel, such as a simple empty glass jar, into the twisted cardboard.

The newest product in the company's line is the "wish board" -- a honeycomb cardboard structure into which guests can insert slips of paper bearing their wishes and affirmations.  These wishes can be collected and read aloud or printed out and sent to event participants letting everyone know of the event's goals,successes and achievements.  The wish boards can be hung on a wall or set up as a freestanding unit.

This would also be a great idea for a guest book!  Your guests can write their well-wishes to you on slips of paper and insert them into the board!


At a recent gala honoring superstar architect, Frank Gehry, who uses cardboard in his designs, event planner David Monn used Liquid Cardboard products including table settings and decor items.

All items in the line are available in the natural cardboard color or colorized.  They are artisanally made using vegetable-based dyes and adhesives.
