I love paper crafts. The paper is very cheap and it's a great way to make a statement. These finished flowers are large, one foot in diameter! They're bright in color and super easy to make... and best of all, they only need 3 supplies.
Prepare giant paper peonies for the perfect party backdrop, home or seasonal decor, giant flower bouquet or room decor. This cheap craft is a must!
It is wonderful! They make a great backdrop for photos or parties! They are beautiful as decorations! They will also work as a beautiful bouquet for a loved one for the perfect DIY gift.
Paper is the best cheap material for creativity. Grab a pack of cardboard from an arts and crafts store, online store, or department store and start creating beautiful spring flowers.
*** If your production budget is low, paper is the best place to start. ***
Did you know I'm allergic to flowers? It's right. Completely allergic. My olfactory symptoms, which I'm allergic to, come out like the flu; pain, headaches, fatigue... it usually takes a few days to realize that it's just an allergy and I'm not sick. Very concerned!
My solution for allergy-free flowers is paper flowers. On my blog, you will find many types of paper flowers... if you don't believe me, search "paper flowers" in the search bar!
Materials needed for giant paper peony flowers:
Hot glue/gun (here's a great full size version)
Step 1: Cut out the parts of the flower.
I did this with my daughter and 2 lovely sisters. I just drew random tooth/heart shapes and told the girls to cut them out.
I used 3 sheets of 12 x 12 paper for each petal. All graduates are colorful.
I had a team of funny girls who helped me cut all the flowers. Put on an entertaining movie or music and let them cut the sheets of paper between them.
It is easy to assemble a stack of paper and cut the stack at the same time. Don't worry too much about the shape of the petals. They are asymmetrical, natural and imperfect.
I used 4 large petals, 6-8 medium petals, 6-8 small petals and 4 drops of leaves. A round piece for the top... about 8 inches wide. Plus a long yellow stripe in the middle.
Step 2: the center of the yellow flower
Then cut off a strip of yellow paper to make an edge. Also make cracks not on all paper.
Then roll up the yellow ribbon and glue it hot into a tight roll. While walking, apply a little warm glue so that it does not roll and holds tight enough.
Finally, fold over the yellow edges to add volume to the center of the flower.
Step 3: Making the base of the petal.
Roll up the petals from the small end and glue them one by one to the warm round paper. Start by placing the 4 largest petals as close to the outer edge of the circle as possible.
Then use the larger petals at the bottom and fold those 6 in a circle.
Repeat with the next 6 large leaves. Then, if necessary, slightly overlap and wrap with hot glue.
Then glue the last 4 small teardrop leaves into the center of the yellow fringed flower.
Step 4: Finish the Flower
Then add hot glue to the back of the yellow center and tear off the leaves and press straight into the middle of the paper leaf layers.
Step 5: Repeat!
Prepare more flowers now! Experiment with the shape of the petals, their fullness or color! Add leaves, ferns, or anything to spice up your creativity to create unique flowers for spring decor, banquet backdrops, bedroom decorations, or large bouquets!
I love the gradient colors of these flowers, they are just magical!
They are easy to hang by attaching a small pipe cleaning ring to the back and a hook on the wall. Learn more about hanging flowers in this article.
