Paper for a very advanced flower tower?

I saw a video of Chris Palmer and one other person folding a Flower tower with many progressions from 6 foot paper. Where in the world would you get such a paper? The closest I could find was a 51" by 11 foot roll of 300 gsm paper. Is that too heavy?

Well, there's always taping the paper to make it longer. But the gsm, IMO will be a bit thick.

Try taping four big sheets of EH or Tant together. If you tape them carefully it won't be seen in the finished model.

Yes, use those transparent tapes. Jeremy uses them also, and it'll be perfectly invisible to the paper. ;-)

Transparent tapes? Where exactly would I find that, most tape I can find is translucent. Also thanks for the tips everyone, I bet that a taped sheet won't be too noticable in the final model

Yes, that's what I meant, Translucent.
