You may have been troubled by the question
of how to make your own DIY decorative items. What about making some paper
flowers? After all, they are not that difficult to make and are very beautiful.
Let’s look at the DIY paper flowers.
The following steps will guide you in
making your own paper flowers. Be sure to pay attention to detail, to ensure
your fairy tale flowers. You should also prepare some colorful paper in various
thickness. This is a must!

1. Cut the leaves before cutting your first
leaf, make a range of templates. This will ensure that your flowers are
perfect. It will also be easier to create duplicates. Use between a half and
one and a half A2 sheets (80gsm+) per flower, depending on the size. If you go
larger, your flower will need additional support. Then cut out a round base.
The larger the flower, the sturdier the paper should be for the base. Also
remember to cut a slit in the base of the leaf, which you will glue gun later.
Cut about 6-8 leaves per template.

2. Glue everything. The small ones are
really inexpensive and will save you a lot of time and money in the long run.
Watch the video provided and see exactly how the flower’s base should be glued.
This is the most technical part of the project. The more you cross the base
section of the leaf, the more volume your flower will have. As the leaves go
smaller, the cross section should be tighter; otherwise there will be gaps,
revealing the base of each leaf. The trick is to hide the base of the flower.
3. Getting down to the base. Now you should
plan the layout of the leaves. Make sure the base isn’t too big; otherwise you
will see it when your flowers are completed. Have a look at the video for tips
and tricks on getting this part right. When completed, you can hang them up;
put them against walls or fencing; or use them as décor for your table or photo
booth.
