I don't know about UK, but here in USA you can often find inexpensive gift wrap made of mylar at a Dollar Store or something like it. Would it be a Pound store in UK, hee hee hee? Hugs, Marji

I am not sure if it is mylar. I had troubles getting it. If you google it you get some on amazon, but as I can not see it I find it difficult to feel the thickness of it ( there are different thicknesses like paper) I found in Hobby craft Fusible Film (near the angelina fibers)As it indicates you can heat bond it as well. They do it in all different shades. It is not cheap but the mylar I saw on amazon was not cheap either. Hope this helps!

Angelina Film will work instead of Mylar for designs.
It is a little heavier and a little more expensive.
More for you to think about.

I've just bought Angelina fibres and fusible film which might or might not be like mylar but the web site is www.craftynotions.com and is in Newark, UK. Have a look at the site, I haven't yet but it might be useful. Jan

When using the Angelina film in stead of Mylar in a design you don't need to hot fix it with an iron just use it as you would Mylar.
