The Secrets To Creating Stunning Crepe Paper Blooms

Today I will teach you all the essential supplies you will need to create these DIY paper blooms that are both realistic and last indefinitely.

Cartifini has lots of colors to pick from, but they also have different weights (thickness) of paper as well.
