US Vendors
Papers: Carte Fini, Paper Flower Supplies
Wires: World of Sugar Art has been recommended as an online source, I ordered mine direct from China
Glue: Walmart is where I purchased my clear glue and glue gun and you can also get Modge Podge Matte
Scissors: Chikamasa can be searched for online and look for the best price - wire cutters are found at Paper Flower Supplies
91% Rubbing Alcohol: I find this in the pharmacy section of stores in the US; as a substitute vodka can be used.
Coloration: Pan Pastels and Ranger Inks in Wild Plum , a green marker (I use Copic brand, moss or grass green would be good color substitutes)
(the inks can also be sourced from Paper Flower Supplies and other vendors)
Conservation: Walmart has the UV spray I use; a good substitute is sold from Paper Flower Supplies. Think sunscreen for your flowers. The Modge Podge spray can be found there also.

Crepe Paper Italian 180g: Floristry Warehouse www.floristrywarehouse.com (although not ombre colours) - I managed to get 17A/7 on Ebay (too expensive to import direct from Carte Fini (USA) or Cartotecnica Rossi (Italy) - I understand Sue at A Petal Unfolds is starting a new business (Petite Petals) selling paper but not sure when she will start trading)
