Foil paper

Post by Hydraxon493 »

Does anyone know where I can get ahold of some good, high-quality thin Foil papers that ship to Australia?

You could try the stuff on Nicholas Terry's website - I have heard some good stuff about it. Or, you go with Tissue foil (although, to be honest, it depends on what you want to fold).

The metallic foil stuff that Nicolas has been selling on his shop is (or at least very very similar to) this: http://www.gpcpapers.com/showproducts.c ... 7|Metallic|

I've had a good deal of success using this to make tessellations and some figures...as seen below. The difference is that this stuff is a lot cheaper...and available lots of places.

I buy Nicolas Terry's foil when I need it, and I live in Australia. They ship here.

If you only need small paper, go to bakery supply store and find foil paper used to wrap candies. The ones I get are 4 inch squares.

Remember the foil wraps chocolate bars used to be wrapped in? They are re like that
