Have you tried creating the doublette first, and then coloring it with paints or alcohol inks? I wonder how the fusible webbing reacts to getting wet/colored.
Yesenia Ramirez - I haven’t tried colouring after fusing. There are times when I’ve used too much glue and the liquid splits the fused paper apart, so I suspect there’s a limitation to how much dying you can do after fusing (altho alcohol ink maybe more forgiving). Also, the fusible web is quite expensive so I’ve always used it only when I’m satisfied with the colour of the paper. When I die I only die because the colour doesn’t come in the crepe paper; if I fuse white on white and hen die then I’d just used a white doublette. But If you try dying afterwards, let me know how it turns out!

Hi Jessie, can you suggest a brand for the fusible web, please? Thank you!
I was told to never use steam when pressing crepe paper
It has worked for me, but feel free to experiment with and without steam :)
