At less than 19 cents a sheet this paper is a great option, I was not sure about getting it but the price (19 bucks) convinced me! There are many beautiful options out there but I was not going to pay more than 20 bucks for paper, was happy when I found this one. Is flexible enough to make flowers with it, it requires some bending and you need to work with it but at the end the results are a beautiful flower that will stay nicely in place and with the perfect weight to handle it without needing much help or extra materials. Depending on the light they will shine nicely, I notice that with white light they look bright and almost have some translucent purple going on, with yellow light they are shiny too but without the translucent and more like metallic. Overall I love it and is perfect for a paper flower backdrop we started to make for my daughters bridal shower at the Botanical Garden.Update: added a picture of the backdrop finish, there are 82 big flowers and more than 200 easy to make small flowers, I forgot to count how many leafs but close to 30. It took me 5 packages of 96 sheets of this paper, half of one 5 pound box of hot glue (bought it here too), had 1 old glue gun die on me and bought another one, the arch also got it here for 50 bucks, double side velcro tape (dont get the velcro brand) for less than $160 made this backdrop that will be use at my daughters bridal and nieces wedding. I had lots of fun and enjoy very much making 2 or 3 big flowers before bedtime, the paper is strong enough to storage piled on top of each other in 2 big boxes. At the end I save more than $500, rental place was asking 800 for a 5×8 paper flower back drop. Hope this info help for those adventurous like me, planing on doing a paper flower backdrop.
