How to Make Large Paper Flowers

Making your own wall art is so much easier than you think. These paper flowers add a whimsical touch to a child’s bedroom or playroom either hanging on the wall or tucked into the corner of a bookshelf for decoration. More resilient and affordable than the real thing, these paper versions quickly become party staples, especially for decorating the walls for wedding and baby showers. Just one flower makes a big impact on a party wall which is perfect for photo opportunities.

The success of crafting paper flowers hinges on having flexible yet stiff enough high-quality sheets of paper to make these flowers. Quality and sharp scissors are a must to get the edges of the petals crisp and neat. You don’t have to work with single petals if you don’t want to—you can instead create full flower shapes with three or five petals that will help make layering easier.
