Hang In Events

I first got into paper flowers when I was planning my wedding. My dad is allergic to a lot of flowers and I really wanted to include poppies in my bouquet – a notoriously difficult flower to keep from wilting. I eventually landed on crepe paper flowers as the best solution ◡̈

I love making them now to keep around the house! It’s nice having flowers I don’t have to remember to water or worry about the cat eating!

If you haven’t made paper florals before, I’m happy to share what I know!

You can also check out the free tutorials on Lia Griffith’s page – I used her tutorials almost exclusively for my wedding florals ◡̈

Materials I’d Recommend:

• Crepe Paper
• Floral Wire
• Tacky Glue (I love Aleenes)
  • Some people use hot glue, but I’d caution you against it… too easy to burn your fingers!
• Sharp Scissors
