I need thick foil paper, preferably two-sided. Any suggestions for purchasing this?

Why don't you just glue two sheets of foil paper together?

gluing two sheets is not a bad idea but due to the after effect of the glue, it could cause the sheet to go wrinky and if not glued properly the corners will come lose

You can use two sheets of paper without gluing. it is possible, but, of course, work is much harder...

Thick and strong foil paper is possible to buy in paper shop in shopping centre Kotva in Praha.

Do you know the name of the shop in Praha that sells the foil paper?

I don't know what country you are in, but in the USA there is a craft store called Michael's that sells double-sided foil paper.

Hee hee hee. Now I feel like bragging. Over here in Malaysia, you can find foil paper in almost EVERY SINGLE stationery shop you go to. And they come in gigantic 50 by 70cm rolls...in ASSORTED COLORS! The only problem is that they tear easily under too much stress...

I am using the Two-sided foil paper by Yasutomo. It is working relatively well. I also tried the two-sided Foil/Solid. It is nice, too.
