These gorgeous lavender paper flowers are perfectly intricate and way easier to make than they look!
When I think of spring and summer I think of lots of beautiful wildflowers. I live in Utah and Utah’s mountains are notorious for, yes the mountain snow, but also the beautiful wildflowers that pop up in the mountains once it’s spring and summer!
If you are looking for an extremely fun craft to do with the kiddos or even a gorgeous addition to your home or party decor, these lavender paper flowers would be perfect! This post even includes a free template!
Supplies:
- crepe paper (color of your choice)
- craft paper – green
- scissors
- craft glue
Instructions:
-
Cut out a strip of green craft paper 2 inches by 8 inches
Start to roll the green strip from a corner. Roll the strip diagonally from that corner.
-
Continue to roll until reaching the other end. Once it reaches the other end apply a small amount of glue at the end to secure the roll. The stem is ready!
-
You can do a free hand paper cutting or take help of the template. You will need to cut out 2 pieces out of the crepe paper.
-
Cut small and even fringe on the small piece of crepe paper.
-
Apply glue along any one side (lengthwise) of the large piece of crepe paper.
-
Fold the large piece into half lengthwise and joining both sides.
-
Cut small and even fringe along the folded side (not the glued side). Keep in mind to start by cutting larger fringes and cutting the fringes smaller while moving towards the other end.
-
Now we have the stem, the small fringe and the large fringe ready. Apply glue along the intact part of both fringed papers.
-
Take the small fringe first; Start to wrap the glued area of the small fringed paper around the stem, starting from the top of the stem and carefully rolling it towards the bottom.
-
Keep rolling until the paper ends.
-
Now take the large fringed paper and start to wrap it around the stem from where the previous fringed paper ended.
-
Roll the paper until it ends.
-
Cut out the leaf pattern from a green craft paper. Trace the leaf pattern from the template on a green craft paper and cut out nicely.
-
Glue the leaves around the stem, below the flower.
-
Done!
