Well, you could make your own flour/water dough, roll it out nice and thin and even, and cut it into shape -- or you could buy a package of pre-formed wonton wrappers. The choice is yours.

By the way -- they also make a good substitute for homemade raviolis and other filled pasta. They're made from basically the same ingredients as any other pasta dough. Fill with your desired filling, seal, boil briefly, and presto! Homemade filled pasta. Impress your dinner guests and retain your sanity!
