Even Mylar balloons the kids or grandkids have
after the balloon dies use the mylar for your crease flies. This will
improve your color choices.

Subject: [VFB] Crease Flies
Well I finished my crease flies last week for the
swap but now I can't stop playing with them.
I started making up a couple of special patterns
for a friends care package. I was using some holographic gift-wrap
foil. It worked great!!! Better than anything I've
used yet. The metallic transfer foil doesn't hold the colors of
the markers as bright as the plastic gift foil does. I just glued
my foam body in place on the hook with the sticky side out, removed the
backing and applied the foil over it then trimmed it to shape.
I prefer to trim it once on the fly because it will stretch and lift near the
belly when you fold it otherwise.
I think you can find this kind of gift wrap in
most Hallmark or better confectionary type stores that wrap candy or other odd
shaped gifts in it.
Keep tying and have fun,
Deb
