HI

Just wondering if anyone knows how to make wafer/rice paper butterflies. What supplies would I need to get? Where would I get them. Could really use a hand with this!

Thanks so much!

You can buy the preprinted butterflies from www.sugarcraft.com then cut them out, gel, attach the wings to a royal icing body and stick in a cut pearl head stamen for the atennae and voila!

If you have a food safe printer, then find the picture you want, run the copy yourself and proceed.

Otherwise, its tracing a picture, coloring it in and proceeding.
