Best crepe paper for crafting

Top pick: heavy Italian crepe paper (180 g). For paper flowers, garlands and anything that has to hold a shape, the heavier Italian stock is the one to buy — it stretches and cups without tearing, and the 180 g rolls are the closest thing to florist-grade. Start there unless you need lots of colours cheaply.

• Heavy Italian 180 g rolls – best all-round for flowers and sculpted crafts; a single roll goes a long way.
• Werola heavy florist crepe (160 g) – the budget route into proper florist paper; slightly lighter, still shapes well.
• Lia Griffith heavy crepe – pre-cut sheets in curated colour palettes, handy if you'd rather not trim from a roll.
• Dennison fine crepe (32 g) – thin and soft; the right choice for fringed tassels, streamers and delicate petals, not structure.
• Multi-sheet packs (Uxcell, Homemaxs, Colibri) – thin craft-grade paper for kids' projects, party decor and volume work where colour variety matters more than stretch.
• 90 g Italian rolls – a lighter, more drapey Italian option for soft petals and layered flowers.
