Here’s a lovely assortment of paper flowers to make, I’ve organized them in a few sections for easier browsing:
Bouquets & Centerpieces, Tissue Paper, Crepe, Origami and the rest under general tutorials.
Many of these have free templates to download and most are surprisingly easy to make!
I’ve also compiled a vintage booklet into a pdf tutorial that you can download. It shows step-by-step how to make crepe flowers (includes images). Just click the banner to the right to grab a copy for yourself.
