Dust with a dry cloth or shake it out gently. Never wash or wet it, as the newspaper beads lose their form when soaked. Keep it away from rain and continuous damp.

Good to Know

Because it uses whatever fabric was left over, the colour combination varies from piece to piece and will not match the photograph exactly.

FAQs

How does it differ from the Festive Toran?

This one is 45 inches long and 4 inches wide — shorter and fuller. The Festive Toran is longer at 48 inches and narrower at 3.25 inches.

What are newspaper beads?

Strips of used newspaper rolled tightly into beads and strung on cotton, so the paper is reused rather than pulped or binned.

How is it hung?

Two hooks or small nails at the top corners of the door frame will hold it; the piece is very light.

Can I use it year-round?

Yes. Many people leave the toran on the main door permanently and only take it down to dust it.
