Creative Ways to Use Your Paper Flowers
There are tons of ways to display and use your flowers.
- Create a bouquet or create a floral wreath.
- Instead of a bow, top a gift with a custom-made paper flower.
- Use them as table centerpieces, create flower wall photo backdrops.
- Add a flower to a bookmark or card for a handmade touch.
How to Make a Paper Flower Bouquet
- For a balanced bouquet, try a variety of flowers. Roses, daisies, peonies, and lilies all work well in paper form and look great together. You can mix colors, styles, and even sizes to add variety to your bouquet.
- Follow directions to create several flowers. Aim for 6-8 flowers for a small bouquet, or more for a fuller arrangement.
- Once you’ve made all your flowers, arrange them by holding them together in a bunch. Start with the larger flowers in the center and arrange smaller blooms and greenery around them. Adjust the flowers until you’re happy with the look.
- Use floral tape to bind the stems together tightly at the base of the blooms. Then, wrap the entire length of the stems in green floral tape to give a polished, unified look.
- For a beautiful finishing touch, wrap a ribbon or twine around the base of the bouquet. You can tie a bow for a classic look, or even add charms or embellishments for extra flair.
