Crepe paper folds are inexpensive and come in several colors. I use a brand called “Cindus Silkrepe Folds Crepe Paper” this crepe paper is bleed resistant, fade resistant and fire resistant!  Each sheet is 20 inches wide by 7.5 feet long that is a very large piece of crepe paper and each sheet of this crepe paper costs about $1.00 a sheet. Out of one sheet you can easily make a dozen flowers. You cannot go wrong with this brand of crepe paper it is simply one of the best if not the best available. These crepe paper folds can be used for several things besides making paper flowers, which is the most popular use for crepe paper.

Let’s look at few other options for crepe paper fold uses.

Many moms, care givers and teachers use crepe paper for all sorts of children’s projects. Kids can make paper animals, airplanes, flowers, doll clothes and even an entire town out of crepe paper. Children have such an incredible, unlimited imagination with the help of an adult they can make anything.

School projects are another use for crepe paper. Everything from the solar system, a telescope to an ocean or rain forest shoe box diagram can be made from this type of paper.  Everything in the show box diagram can be made from crepe paper.

Crepe paper projects are not just for children! Adults can make flowers, decorations, scrapbooks, treasure chests, gift boxes, gifts and numerous other items using crepe paper.

Crepe paper sheets come in handy at birthday parties too. They can be used as table clothes you just need a little tape to hold them together and to tape the paper to the underside of the table to hold it in place. The paper is also perfect for making a pinata for younger children. You can also use it to make games such as pin the tail on the donkey. If you want a craft project for the children they can make a miniature scene of the birthday theme. For example if it is a safari theme each child could use a wild animal cookie cutter and cut out their favorite animal and decorate it with wiggly eyes, pom-pom nose and a foam mouth or they could draw it on with markers or crayons.
