Here’s a lovely assortment of paper flowers to make, I’ve organized them into several sections for easier browsing:
Assorted
Tissue
Crepe
Origami
Bouquets, Centerpieces, Photobooths, Wall Decor, and more.
Many of these have free templates to download (in pdf format) and most are surprisingly easy to make!
What’s included: Only those DIY projects/tutorials that are free and require no email address or membership to download templates and/or instructions. If things have changed or something included that shouldn’t be, please let me know in the comments section below so I can remove it.
First up: A general sampling of what’s to be found here, just click on the images to get the instructions. All links should open in a new browser tab so you won’t lose your spot here. Following this section you’ll find the organized galleries mentioned above.
New Collection Update: March, 2022
Lacey Doilies
Use packs of precut doilies or you can make them with a Martha Stewart doily punch and tissue paper (can cut through about 8 layers at once so won’t take that long).

Magnolias
White cardstock is painted with watercolor (to make the petals); the inside stamens are red crepe cut 2″ length x 1″ height & folded. Green velvet ribbon for the stem base.

Cupcake Liners
Super cute & couldn’t be easier to whip up. Stems are pipe cleaners that are wrapped in floral tape.

Lovely colorful blooms that are suitable adornments for gifts, cards & packaging. A circle punch (1.5″) is used to make the job go quicker, vintage buttons for the center.

Coffee Filter Roses
It takes 8 cone filters to make a single rose, free pdf templates to download. Watercolor paints tint the filters to desired colors. Both written instructions & video tutorial provided.

Spider Mums
These pastel pretties will brighten up any room! Cardstock; fringe scissors (or large cutting scissors), tape, floral wire, floral tape and glue.

Hand Cut
Templates provided (pdf) for leaf, petal & center. A 24-sheet pad of scrapbook paper will make a bunch. Assembled with a hot glue gun.

Book Page Bouquet
Large scallop punch, piercer, brads, clothespins, lollipop sticks, hot glue gun, ribbon or decorative tape to wrap around sticks.

Pretty & decorative made with a single 8″1/2 x 11″ computer sheet. Ideal as ornaments, can be hung by invisible thread.
Also includes basic directions for making a DIY slotted tool that makes the job easier. Narrow fringe slits are made at an angle, the petals fluff up by themselves (they don’t have to be shaped).

Hyacinth
Each fringe strand is wrapped around a knitting needle or wooden skewer then glued & twirled around a rolled green construction paper stem. Tedious? Not once you hit your stride.

The first gallery below is a continuation of the above featuring assorted cardstock, scrapbook pad, recycled materials. Below this I’ve added organized galleries for tissue & crepe papers, one started for origami and then the last for assorted decor projects (photobooths, backdrops, etc.).
Lots here, have fun! 🙂

This gallery focuses on lovely tissue paper projects (there may be a few with mixed media). You’ll find directions for making the always popular pom poms, carnations, tulips, Mexican/Cinco De Mayo and more.
This is the section where I’ve compiled ideas for photobooths, special occasion wall decor, backdrops, bouquet alternatives, tablescapes, centerpieces, wreaths, party decorations, shower arrangements, etc. More to come!
