CSS Washi Paper Crane Button

Handmade washi stock with fibrous speckle, a deckled bottom edge cut by a mask, and a folded paper wing that lifts off the corner on hover — the crane's fold lines are a single conic-gradient shading pass, and the whole button tilts on its long axis like a sheet being picked up.

How this works

The fibrous texture is many tiny radial gradients at prime-ish offsets — cheaper and crisper than an image, and it tiles at any size:

background-image:
  radial-gradient(.09rem .09rem at 12% 24%, var(--fibre) 99%, transparent),
  radial-gradient(.07rem .07rem at 63% 71%, var(--fibre) 99%, transparent),
  radial-gradient(.08rem .08rem at 84% 33%, var(--fibre) 99%, transparent);
background-size:7px 7px, 11px 11px, 13px 13px;

The deckled edge is a mask of repeating soft radial notches, so the paper appears hand-torn rather than cut:

mask:radial-gradient(.4rem .28rem at 50% 100%, transparent 96%, #000 0) 0 100%/1.1rem .35rem repeat-x,
     linear-gradient(#000,#000) 0 0/100% calc(100% - .34rem) no-repeat;

The crane is two triangles from clip-path:polygon() sharing one element: the body sits flat, and the wing rotates around its spine on hover using rotate with a transform-origin at the fold. A rotate3d-free tilt on the button itself keeps the composite cheap.

Make it yours

  • Retint with --paper and --fibre — indigo, persimmon and moss all work with the same texture recipe.
  • Change the deckle rhythm with the mask's 1.1rem tile width; wider reads as heavier stock.
  • Rotate the crane's rest angle for a folded-flat look, or delete it and keep the paper.
  • Add a second fold shadow with a low-alpha linear gradient at 40% width for a tri-fold letter feel.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Multi-stop mask shorthands need each layer's size and repeat spelled out; a missing no-repeat silently tiles the base layer and eats the button.
  • Soft paper palettes drift under 4.5:1 fast — the ink here is a real near-black, not a warm grey.
  • Dozens of micro radial gradients are fine as a static background but must never be animated; animate a separate overlay instead.
  • transform-origin on a clipped element refers to its border box, not the visible shape — expect to nudge the value by eye.
  • Keep the tilt under 2°: paper that rotates further stops looking like a button and starts looking broken.

Browser support

ChromeSafariFirefoxEdge
120+15.4+53+120+

mask shorthand with multiple layers: Chrome 120 / Safari 15.4 / Firefox 53. Without it the deckled edge falls back to a straight edge — the button is otherwise identical.
