On this one rose I just coloured one side of the petal as some of the colour seeped to the other side, but sometimes I will colour both sides, especially on 180g crepe paper as water does not penetrate the paper quite so well as the doublette which I've used on this video.
@@FrowningSparrowUK I recently got some Lia Griffith paper that doesn't specify how many grams it is but says heavy crepe paper. Is this probably the same thickness you're using?
@@IAMGiftbearer The Lia Griffiths heavy crepe is 160g and the doublette I have used in this video is 90g. The doublette does behave differently to the heavy crepe so you may need to experiment a little before working on your flower project.
I don't see why not. As long as they are watered down it should work. Just might need a bit of trial and error to get the right consistency. Let me know how you get on.
Just an update, it's not working as well as i hoped 😅 It looks a bit shiny and doesn't keep its shape as well as unpainted. When I needed to stretch the petals I found it hadn't painted inside the crevices so I have white streaks throughout. I also found any more than a tiny bit of water made the crepe paper stretch so badly out of shape it wasn't very usable and didn't go back to its original shape.. I did it on 90g paper so I don't know if that's part of my problem? I honestly can't see how using watercolour would work even though I can see you've had success with it. Perhaps it's my paper? I got the Italian brand so idk... feeling a little frustrated right now lol!!
White roses are very subtle in their colouring, a stronger colour, using the same technique, can be used on white crepe paper or on a coloured crepe paper for a stronger coloured flower.
So beautiful !!! Thanks for share!!! This is more art than just a craft.
Thank you. Receiving such a lovely message means so much.
Absolutely stunning. Very useful video, thank you
Aww thank you, so pleased you found the video useful.
Love your videos
Thank you, these are so beautiful! And a relaxing video to watch ☺
Pleased you enjoyed it, and thank you for watching.
So helpful, thank you ❤❤
Obrigada!! :)
Your roses look so realistic! I couldn't tell if you colored both sides or whether the color seeped through without needing to do that.

Good technique. The only issue is that your voice drops and it is hard to hear. Thank you for sharing your craft.
Is it possible to use acrylic paint and just add some water?
I don't see why not. As long as they are watered down it should work. Just might need a bit of trial and error to get the right consistency. Let me know how you get on.
@@FrowningSparrowUK thank you so much! Will give it a go then!

Hello, and thank you for your kind comment. Do you mean the material available to purchase on Etsy?
You can't see really any different.
White roses are very subtle in their colouring, a stronger colour, using the same technique, can be used on white crepe paper or on a coloured crepe paper for a stronger coloured flower.
