I make many paper flowers that are used in hospitals and nursing homes where allergies may come into play, but I would like to show off my creations outside my home and plant them in the front walkway, how can I waterproof them?

If the paper is thick, you can use a clear spray paint to coat them.
I paint mine with Petal Porcelain. Turns them into porcelain. Try Hobby Lobby.
Use a bar of soap or wax. Rub it gently on the paper and it coat the paper and the water will run off.
these are all great ideas, however we are talking about tissue, crepe, and regular bond paper. I think these products are to harsh. Thanks for your chipping in on this.

Did any of these work? I’m wanting to make some for my bathroom, and don’t want to waste my time or supplies. Thanks!!

Hello, hope this helps you out. Acrylic sealer spray provides a convenient way to create waterproof origami. Spray the paper before folding it or apply it to the finished product. Use acrylic sealer spray on origami wreaths to hang on your door or on outdoor wedding decorations.
