    Hi Karren

    Did a quick google and there are quite a few places online i.e. Ebay and Amazon. Quite reasonable prices too (1.30 plus 48p for postage for four sheets from ebay).

    Hope this helps.

    I'm sure I've read on here that you can use grease proof paper. Some one will be along soon to tell me I'm wrong :rolleyes: :).

    i was given some of these and just used A4 paper and it worked fine.

    Maybe do a trial one first.

    We use greaseproof all the time as the ironing paper seems to float away into the ether about 10 minutes after opeing the kit

    We use grease proof paper too:)

    Does anyone know a cheap source of the boards you use to put the beads on please? I've been a little over entusiastic in my ironing and ruined the edges of ours:D

    I too use greaseproof paper and have done so for a couple of years with no problems.
