C.R.A.F.T. #80: DIY tissue paper flowers

Remember the beach baby shower I told you about? These simple, crepe paper flowers will be used to embellish whatever needs to be embellished this weekend!

How to make crepe paper flowers

Materials:

crepe paper (Hobby Lobby has it for $1 a roll)
scissors
pen
brad

Step 1 – Fold crepe paper

I folded the paper like a fan and drew a petal shape on the top layer with a pen.

Step 2 – Cut the crepe paper

Use the outlines you created as a guide and trim the crepe paper to make multiple flower petals.

Step 3 – Brad

After I cut out all of the petals, I layered them on top of each other and pushed a brad through all of the petals.

This is before maneuvering the petals, fluffing, and bending.

I also discovered the flowers look cuter if you cut out a few smaller ones for the top of the flower… check out the dark blue flower. Experiment with petal shape! It’s fun and easy. I used Elmer’s glue dots to stick the flowers on the tin buckets…I’m sure tape would work too!

more shapes and colors…

behind the scenes in my “studio”… ha!

As of now the tin pails (found on the side of the road for FREE) are going to be used as silverware, marker, napkin holders 🙂 I’m sure they will end up a few more places too!
