Answering your questions about wafer paper.
How to choose wafer paper and what is wafer paper grade?
- O-grade (0.22 mm) – very thin and light. I use this type for multi-petal flowers and if I want to make something quick.
- AD-grade (Premium or 0.27-0.35 mm) – the most common type of paper to make flowers, foliage, and decorations. Takes on texture beautifully and is very versatile.
- DD-grade (double-thickness or 0.6mm) – smooth on both sides and relatively thick. Great for printing designs or painting. I wouldn’t recommend this type of wafer paper for making flowers.
