What weight of paper do you use and what type? I’ve tried 20 and 24 lb printer paper and the pieces won’t stay together, especially when doing a round base – they keep popping apart.

  I use A4 paper or just plain colored copy paper.

  I use 20 and 24 Ib paper, they are the easiest to work with because of their thickness. For the longevity of my pieces of have recenlty began buying archival quality paper so they will not fade over time. I use a standard 8 1/2 X 11 sheet. I currently only buy online to get the quality paper I want (the archival) the sites I use are http://www.paper-papers.com/ and http://www.paperworks.com/.
