What’s that smell??
The paper may have a faint smell from wheat starch sizing (a strengthening paste), which can naturally ferment between batches.

About me
Hi! I’m Gift Homsaen, founder of Down to Earth Paper.
I’m originally from Thailand and have been living in the US since 2018.
I was a web developer turned paper crafter. I created Down to Earth Paper in 2025 when I realized I didn’t enjoy fixing clients’ website technical issues that much. It’s only fun when doing my projects. This work also drained me due to endless hours spent in front of a screen.
Making paper and binding books helps rebalance my life and teaches me mindfulness. And since I’m passionate about sustainability, it’s fulfilling to create low-waste crafts and figure out how to run a low-carbon business.
And I know I’m not alone! That’s why I’m here, sharing my creations with you.
Thank you for your support ❤️ Stay connected!
