Making Duplex Crepe Paper

Duplex crepe paper is getting hard to find and you may need to make your own. There are several flowers that I have wanted to make and found that using just the regular crepe paper was to thin or if I wanted to give the flower a two tone look I needed duplex crepe paper. Take a small piece of crepe paper about the size candle making kit you will be using for your project and cut 2 pieces of it the same size. Then spray glue both pieces of the paper let set about 20 seconds then spray them again and lay the spray glued sides together, being sure the grain of the paper runs the same way.
