Back to the Topwhat weight crepe paper should I use for larger poppies?
Also, do you wait until petals are dry to manipulate? what does the water do?
We used Extra Fine for the poppies. If you spray the paper lightly and pat dry, they should dry pretty quick. The water gives them a more realistic poppy look 🙂
Hi! Can you tell me where the template for the leaf stem is?
Hi! Yes, it’s from the Paper Wisteria project 🙂 https://liagriffith.com/diy-paper-wisteria-plant/
