Paper Flowers Step-by-Step Instructions

Learn how to make crepe paper roses with this easy tutorial.

Preparing the Paper

Fold the crepe paper several times, then trace a 1.4-inch circle. Cut out the traces circle carefully with your scissors. Repeat this process to create 29 paper circles.

Shaping the Petals

Layer several paper circles on top of each other, then gently pinch the edges at various points around the circumference to create soft curves and give your petals a more natural look.

Forming the Paper Rose

This is where the magic happens. Take one of your cut paper circles, and carefully fold over the rim of the glass. Make sure that the grain of the paper runs horizontally across the glass rim as you fold it over. This will help the paper curve naturally.

Applying Glue

Now, apply glue to one of the edges, then take another piece and fold over the rim, overlapping the first.

Adding layers

Repeat the process until the entire rim is covered. For the next layers, make sure to place the petals in between the petals of the first layer. Repeat until you only have one circle left.

Finishing the Flower

Apply glue to the assembled petals, then place the remaining circle on top, pressing gently to secure.

Removing the flower

Turn the glass over and then carefully remove the flower by pulling it gently.

Done

Crafting Tips

Use sharp scissors.
Use hot glue for a faster drying time. Be very careful when using it to prevent burns.

Creative Ideas and Variations

Experiment with different colors of paper and petal shapes to create a variety of paper flowers.
Bouquet. Make several paper roses in different sizes and colors and arrange them into a paper flower bouquet.
Add stems. You can use a floral wire or stick.
Add leaves. Simply cut out leaf shapes from green crepe paper and attach them to the base of your paper roses.
Embellishments. Add small beads or glitter to the petals for some sparkle.

After trying out various crepe paper colors, I came up with these lovely flowers. For this particular design, I oriented the crepe paper perpendicular to the rim. This allows the grain of the paper to stretch out, giving you more control for shaping.
