How to color wafer paper?
There are a few different ways to color wafer paper.
- Buy pre-colored wafer paper. You can find different brands selling wafer paper. Usually it is about 0.27 – 0.30 mm.
- Use edible printer to get any shade you want. Beauty of using edible printer – you are not limited to pre-colored options and you can print different designs, not just full-colored pages.
- Use an airbrush! This is the easiest and less expensive way to get even colored wafer paper in any shade and color. You can use any water-based airbrush colors or, mix any gel/petals dust with my AC Tonic™ Wafer Paper Conditioner to make your own airbrush color.
- Use a mini-spray bottle. If you don’t have an airbrush, you can get similar effect by using spray bottle. I love this Mini Misters.
- Color your wafer paper with dry petal dust. You can evenly spread any edible petal dust on wafer paper using a brush and get very light and delicate coverage. I prefer to dust the smooth side of wafer paper.
- You can paint on wafer paper with gel color. This is an excellent method if you need to get those dark saturated colors.
- Color with oil-based colors. Those are the colors usually used for chocolate and candy. Not my favorite method because wafer paper is never becomes dry enough to handle, but might work for you!
