Did you know I have a flower allergy? it's true. Complete allergy. My odor symptoms, I'm allergic, it sounds like a cold; Aches, headaches, fatigue... so it usually takes a few days to realize that he is allergic and that he does not get sick. Very uncomfortable!
Allergen-free paper flowers are my solution. You will find many kinds of paper flowers on my blog... If you don't believe me, search "paper flowers" in the search bar!
Supplies needed for giant peony paper flowers:
Hot glue/song (large full size option here)
Step 1: Cut out the floral parts
I worked with my son and 2 beautiful sisters. I drew random teeth/hearts and told the girls to cut them.
I used 3 sheets of 12 x 12 sheets for each flower. Color of all graduates.
I had this fun group of ladies who helped cut all the flowers. Add a fun movie or music and have a few twins help them cut out pieces of paper.
Stacked sheets are easy to stack and cut a bundle at the same time. Don't worry about the shape of the petals. They are disproportionate, natural and imperfect.
I used 4 large flowers, 6-8 medium leaves, 6-8 small leaves, and 4 teardrop leaves. A round piece for the backing...about 8 inches wide. Also for the medium long yellow line.
Step 2: The yellow center of the flower
Then cut the edge of the yellow paper so that it has an edge. Also cut out the cracks, but not all of the paper.
Then roll up the yellow ribbon and glue the hot glue to a sturdy roll. Don't overheat the hot glue as you go and make sure it stays put.
Finally, bring the yellow edges together to add fullness to the center of the flower.
Step 3: Make the base of the flower
Collect the petals at the small ends and place them one by one on the circular paper. Start by placing 4 large leaves as close to the outer edge of the circle as possible.
Then use the next large flowers and stack the 6 around the circle.
Repeat with the next 6 large flowers. Bend them then apply hot glue in place, overlapping them slightly if needed.
Then place the last 4 small teardrop flowers in the center of the yellow fruit flower.
Step 4: Finish the flowers
Next, add the hot glue to the yellow leaves on the back and center and press it between the sheets of paper.
Step 5: Repeat!
Make lots of flowers now! Try it with leaf shapes, trims or colors! Add leaves, ferns, or whatever your creativity takes to create unique flowers for spring decorations, party backdrops, room decorations, or large flower bouquets!
I love the color gradient of these flowers, they are magical!
They are easy to hang with a small pipe cleaning ring on the back and a wall mounted control hook. More details on hanging flowers in this article.
I love paper decoration and you will too!
