Introduction

If you love creative projects and want to bring some color and joy into your home, handmade paper flowers are the perfect solution. In this tutorial, we will show you how to make a paper flower using easy steps and accessible materials. This project is great for decoration, gifts, or fun activities with kids. EM ART offers everything you need to create your unique flowers.

Necessary Materials

• Colored A4 Sheets
• Crepe Paper
• Double-Sided Tape
• Wooden Stick – for the flower’s stem
• Hot Glue Gun (or suitable glue)
• Scissors

Steps for Crafting

Step 1: Preparing the Paper

1. Choose two colors of paper – one for the flower’s inner part and another for the outer petals.
2. Fold the first sheet lengthwise to the middle, then fold again to create three equal sections.
3. Cut off the third section, as you will only need the first two.

Step 2: Cutting the Strips

1. Fold the paper again, this time along the shorter side.
2. Turn it over and start cutting narrow strips (about 1-2 cm wide) without cutting all the way through – leave about 1 cm uncut.
3. The finer the strips, the more beautiful the flower will look.

Step 3: Assembling the Flower

1. Unfold the cut paper and stick double-sided tape along the long side. Fold to secure both edges.
2. Wrap the strip around the wooden stick, starting from one end.
3. Repeat the same process with the second color paper to give the flower more volume.

Step 4: Creating the Stem and Leaves

1. Cut a narrow strip of crepe paper (about 1 cm wide) and stretch it slightly.
2. Wrap it around the wooden stick to create a natural-looking stem.
3. Cut a few leaves from the crepe paper, shape them, and attach them to the stem.
