My favorite type of paper to use for these rolled paper flowers is 90 lb cardstock. It's sturdy enough that it won't rip, but it's still flexible enough to make pretty flower petals. You can find suitable cardstock in 8.5″ by 11″ size sheets or 12″ by 12″ size sheets but my favorite size is poster size.
