DIY Paper Flowers

in DIY & Home Decor on 04/14/18


I was looking for decoration ideas for my Grandma’s 80th birthday and spotted some paper flowers on Pinterest.  I gathered the supplies and made my own tutorial for my Lilies and Life followers!  These flowers are very easy to make and the results are beautiful!

DIY Paper Flowers

DIY Paper Peony

Supplies:

  1. My FREE Peony Paper Flower Template
  2. Card stock 8.5”X11” (any color)
  3. Scissors
  4. Pencil
  5. Glue Gun

DIY Paper Flowers supplies list, glue, scissors, card stock, template

Creating the Paper Peony
  1. Cut out templates: Use my FREE Peony Paper Flower Template to cut out each size of the templates.  (I am going to make a medium size peony for this demonstration)
  2. Trace your flower: Use the petal templates to trace two medium flowers and two small flowers on card stock of your choice

3. Cut: Cut out each of the four petals you traced

Creating the centerpiece of the flower:
  1. Cut a strip of card stock about 6-8” X 2”

2. Cut small strips into the large strip making sure not to cut all the way through like this:

3. Roll up the strip from one end

4. Glue the end of the strip to hold it in place

5. Glue the centerpiece to your flower

 6. Once the centerpiece is dry (don’t do this step before you know the glue has dried), fold out the little strips to finish the centerpiece and Tah-dah!!

DIY Paper Flower Rose

Creating the Rose Flower
  1. Cut out Templates: Use my FREE Rose Paper Flower Template-Large & Rose Paper Flower Template- Medium and Small to cut out each size of the templates
  2. Trace your flower: Use the petal templates to trace five large petals, eight medium petals and three small petals on card stock of your choice

4. Roll: Now you are going to roll the tops of the large petals towards the middle of the petal.  This part is key to making your flower look great: roll three of the petals “over” towards the end of the petal and two petals “under” towards the end of the petal like this:

5. Glue: Place one of the large petals down and glue each large petal to the next making sure to alternate the “rolled over” and “rolled under” petals like so (there will be two “rolled over” petals next to each other):

6. Roll again: Roll the tops of the medium petals towards the middle of the petal.  Roll four petals “over” and four petals “under.”

Bedrooms are probably my favorite spaces to decorate because I love giving my clients a room where they can relax and feel at peace 🙏  If you think about it, you go to bed and wake up in your bedroom EVERY SINGLE DAY.  If the space doesn't make you happy that means you are starting and ending your days in a negative state of mind... Who needs that? No one 😉

Home Decor PSA #4 (Yesterday was #3 I messed that Home Decor PSA #4

(Yesterday was #3 I messed that up🤦🏻‍♀️)

It's ok to choose function over beauty sometimes! Actually, most of the time😜 Your home isn't just for pictures on Instagram, it's where you live so sometimes choosing a specific layout, a more durable paint color, or a certain fabric for your sofa is just what you have to do!

For example:
1. You may choose carpet in your living room  because your kids love rolling around and wrestling.
2. You choose a darker paint color because having light colored walls stresses you out with three kids🤪
3. The most comfortable sofa may not always be the perfect looking sofa 😊

If you use some creativity the functional option might also be the most beautiful 😊

In this photo, swivel, comfortable counter stools were a must for my client! Comfortable✔️ Swivel✔️ Still looks beautiful ✔️
