Not as firm a paper as these used to have
I really love these flowers. I had ordered them years ago and then could not find them again. I was glad to see that Scrapbook.com carries them. I have never painted or colored them. I just use them white. I still have some of these in other colors and varied colors of jewels. I would recommend these to others, though the paper they are made from is not as thick as it was years ago.
