How to Make Crepe Paper Flowers

Remember the beach baby shower I told you about? I made easy crepe paper flowers to embellish whatever needed embellishing at the baby shower. I added the paper flowers to every plain container I could find.

After the petals are cut, layer the petals on top of each other and pushed a brad through all of the petals.

This is what a flower looks like before maneuvering the petals. Each flower needs fluffing and bending.

Tips for making crepe paper flowers

1. I discovered the flowers look more realistic if you cut out a few smaller petals for the top of the flower. See the dark blue flower below? Experiment with petal shape! It’s fun and easy to make crepe paper flowers. 
2. I used Elmer’s glue dots to stick the flowers on the tin buckets.Tape would work great too.

I made 20 crepep paper flowers in different colors, shapes, and sizes.
