Why You’ll Love Making Paper Flowers

Paper flower crafts are fun and a great way to personalize your space without breaking the bank.

Whether you’re creating simple roses, elegant tulips, or playful daisies, paper flowers add charm and creativity to any setting.

These flowers never wilt, making them long-lasting decorations for your home, gifts, or special events.

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Paper Flowers

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Before you start crafting, make sure you have everything you need:

Colored paper or cardstock
Scissors
Glue or a hot glue gun
A pencil for tracing
Floral wire or pipe cleaners (optional for stems)

Step 2: Cut Out Your Flower Petals

Cut out multiple petal shapes from your paper using a template or freehand drawing.

For a fuller flower, create a mix of large and small petals.

Step 3: Shape and Curl the Petals

To give your flowers a realistic touch, curl the edges of the petals using a pencil or by gently folding them.

Step 4: Assemble the Flower

Start gluing the petals together layer by layer, beginning with the smallest ones in the center and working outward with larger petals.

Attach a floral wire or pipe cleaner to the base if you’re making a stemmed flower.

Step 5: Add the Final Touches

Enhance your paper flower by adding a paper or button center. You can also use markers or paint for extra detailing.

A Personal Note from Janine

A pink vase with fluted texture showcases delicate pink and peach paper flowers, a testament to easy flower paper crafts. The arrangement rests on a white surface, set against a softly blurred background with a couch and bookshelves in a bright, airy room.

Paper flowers are such a fun and budget-friendly way to add a little charm to wreaths, garlands, or even a simple vase arrangement. I actually prefer them over faux silk flowers because they have that lovely homemade, rustic feel that makes them extra special.

My craft stash is overflowing with scrapbooking paper—I have drawers full of it, plus even more tucked away in my studio closet. I think it’s time to sneak in a few craft days and take a little break from baking! There’s something so therapeutic about crafting, and the best part is that these paper flowers last way longer than any dessert I make!

Here’s to easy, beautiful paper flower crafts and a weekend full of creativity! Grab your favorite drink and let’s hang out!

Cheers,
