HI Lia when I was a student my mother showed me how to make crepe flowers. We used to make wreaths for funerals flowers were expensive here in Cyprus. Unfortunately I haven't any fotos.After some years flowers became cheaper and we stoped making them. You are very talented.your film reminded me those days!!! Thank you. Excelent job! Greetings from Cyprus.

[@catherinejq]

When my grandma was younger (now she passed away) she used to make a lot of paper flowers for house decorating. This remind me her, I personally have done little but I loved.

[@MyGreatAuntFanny]

This is great. I have just started doing this, (I have made a dozen black parrot tulips so far, and have been very pleased with them) and now I'm hooked. So learning all about the paper has answered lots of questions. I last made crepe paper roses about 60 years ago. It's taken me a while to get back, but here I am at last!

[@Liagriffithx]

When I first made crepe paper flowers as a teenager, I actually used very old confetti streamers. The faded colors on some of the streamers worked to my advantage!

[@Liagriffithx]

That is great! Very creative :)

[@lscohen8059]

Lia, do you ever use a fixative spray with your flowers? If so can you elaborate when and which one you use? Thanks!

[@Liagriffithx]

Good question! No, we don't usually use fixative. But, some of our member like to use it over PanPastel or to preserve the look of their flowers with Matte UV resistant fixative.

Boy, I am so addicted to your flowers. My question is wondering if you have a list somewhere that tells you when to use fine crepe paper or heavy crepe paper with each individual flower. Thanks you so much.

Hi Susan! We have made a lot of our flowers in all of the different crepe papers. We have a glossary in the footer of the site that lists all of these versions. Come check it out!

Just bought your book! Did you say something about non toxic? Can that be something to look out for? Thanks Lia!

[@Liagriffithx]

Great question! We are unsure on what is being used in other crepe paper outside of German and Italian. That is why we stick to what we know is non-toxic or what inks and dyes are being used. :)
