Where can i buy chinese paper for doors?

Question

i have already tried ebay

Answer 1

I am assuming you are talking about red paper with chinese symbols on them. This is the best I can find.

If want the fancy ones with more symbols that can be placed on the sides of the doors, you are out of luck. People just don't sell these online. Most of people in china either buy them on the streets or write themselves. If you are going for this route, you better find a chinese friend who is good with calligraphy.

Answer 2

I bought Chinese 'prayer paper' at the local Chinese market. It was kind of a tan colour with a large red square in the middle with a gold leaf square inside of the red. I sprayed adhesive on the back of the paper and 'wall-papered' a front door once. it looked really cool....try it.

Answer 3

Are you talking about rice paper to put in a panel in a door? You can get large sheets of this paper in an artist supply store. You might find what you want at www.dickblick.com. They carry all kinds of papers.
