The Best Paper Flower Tutorials

Here are the Best Paper Flower Tutorials I have come across in my search for paper flower crafting. I recently had the opportunity to create a paper flower rose using crepe paper aboard a cruise ship.

The cruise I went on had a day at sea meaning that for the entire day we were in the middle of the ocean sailing towards Cozumel. During the day, there were several activities you could do on the cruise ship.

And of course, you can bet I sought out all the things that might even be remotely crafty! One of the activities was paper flower making. I was excited to attend because I had never really made any paper flower before.

Once I completed the paper flower rose I was quite impressed with how easy the process was and wanted to do more. So I went to Pinterest seeking paper flower tutorials.

I knew of a few good ones out there already, however, at the time I wasn’t looking to create paper flowers.

Paper Flowers vs. Other Flowers

Now that I have actually created my first paper flower I see that there is a need or desire for paper flowers over other flowers.

I do not have a green thumb by any means. In fact, household plants have never really lasted or made it a month in my home. All the plants or greenery I own are silk.

However, I have always liked the idea of having a brightly colored bouquet sitting on the countertop in the kitchen. Mason jar sconces with beautiful bundles of flowers in them in pictures have always been something I would dream of having.

And now, thanks to paper flowers that dream will soon be a reality.

Fun Fact though is that I do already have Mason jar sconces… they are just empty.

Naturally having real flowers every day or even weekly would be ideal. But, having paper flowers over silk flowers or even real flowers is even better.

Let me tell you why.




First of all, paper flowers are more cost-effective than silk and much easier to take care of than real ones. At least if I am the one taking care of them.

You can store the paper flowers season to season. I already do this with silk flowers for one large vase in my home. I will never know why I didn’t think this could apply to other areas in my home until now.

And a bundle of paper flowers in a cute vase or box would also make a great gift!

Once I realized this, I set out to learn more about paper flower making. Funny how just one-afternoon activity can spark a whole new realm of crafting!

Today I am sharing all of the Best Paper Flower Tutorials I have found. I rounded up about 10 tutorials out of about 40 that I came across.
