Pretty, colorful, simple, cheap, and most of all super fun to make!
Ive been trying to find decorations to put in my house to give my house a bit more of a oomph since its plain and new, but I just love the homemade and unique look so I find myself to be really picky when choosing and buying home decor. Well after determining I wanted to brighten up the living space with colors and choosing to look at flower canvas's, frames, etc I came upon a how to make paper flower post on Pinterest and it hit me! Why not make paper flowers,frame them,and hang them?
What you will need:
➀Construction paper (Choose a color you want your flowers to be)
➁Scissors
➂Hot gun & glue
➃Frames (Mine are 8x10)
If you already have the scissors and hot glue this project will only cost you $4! I purchased my construction paper and frames from my local dollar tree.
Okay lets get started! So to begin you must first determined what you want your flower to look like there are many templates you can find online to make the different kind of flowers. I went with two styles as shown below, Nicole made the ones with the pointy top and I made the more rounder ones.
After you determine the style of your flower you can sketch it and cut the outline of your sketch or you can just eyeball it. Because I chose 8x10 frames I didnt want to make the flowers really big so the measurements of my pedals were 3 1/2' for the outer pedals 2 1/2' for the middle pedals and 1 1/2' for the inner pedals.
Now that its cut to get that more natural flower look you want to roll the flower pedals to give it a natural curve look as shown in the picture below ⬇
now make a cut in the middle of the pedal creating two little flaps at the bottom, overlap the flaps inward and hot glue them together. After you do this to all of your pedals you will start building the flower.
Start with the outer pedals and hot glue one to the other overlapping a little in a circle when done do the same with the middle pedals except you will do them on top of the outer pedals and then finally do the same with your inner pedals your flower should look like this
Now to make the middle part of the flower to grab a piece of the construction paper and fold it hot dog style, once its folded hot dog style you will make little cuts on the part where the paper is folded. Cut the paper really close to where your cuts end.TIP:Make sure you don't cut it right at the end of your cuts! You will then roll that paper until it looks like this
Hot glue it to the center of your flower and BOOM your done! I explained this the best I could and provide as many pictures as I could but if you still have any questions please feel free to comment down below and ask.
