Introduction to Making Paper Flowers
Welcome to our site, where you'll find step-by-step guides for easy-to-make paper flowers as well as other more sophisticated flower designs! Under the Special Designs section, you'll find some links to videos of people creating amazing pieces of art, such as a 3D paper flower! Okay, it's time to get started, first let's make sure we have all the materials we'll need.
Tools and Materials
There are some basic materials you will need to make various kinds of paper flowers:
- Scissors
- Glue
- Colored tissue paper
- Origami Paper
- Crepe Paper
- Stamens & Leaves
- Light weight cardboard
- Wires
- Wire Cutter/Pliers
- Green Pipe Cleaners
You'll find that you'll use these over and over again, along with other project specific materials. We'll talk about other materials later. If you're feeling a little intimidated and not sure where to start, and just want to start making some simple paper flowers, please proceed to the Tissue Paper Flowers section of this website. If you're like me, you'll probably want to have enough paper and other materials that I mentioned above stocked up so that you can feel free to experiment as you wish without worrying about supplies running out. I find that having extra materials around is always a great idea in case you have a friend who you'd like to share your craft with. Making that perfect bouquet of flowers is always more rewarding when you have someone to share the experience with!
After extensive research, we've found that the largest online art supply store, MisterArt.com
, is the best place to find anything you need to make paper flowers. Getting all your supplies from the same store is a great way to save money on shipping costs.
