You can easily create your own doublette/double-sided crepe paper with fine crepe paper like German fine crepe paper or Italian 60g crepe paper. In the video, I take you through the process of making doublette/double-sided crepe paper with Carte Fini's 60g crepe paper using fusible webbing and a spray adhesive. Both results in creating strong and durable crepe paper that feels like butter in your hands.

She teaches you how to make Sweet Pea paper flowers in her book, Paper Flower Art, using step-by-step instructions and images. Here she’s put together a short video tutorial demonstrating how she makes her Sweet Pea paper flowers. Enjoy!
