You can use scotch mounting tape or a glue a wire loop to the back to hang from a hook or nail. 🙂

Ramya says
Can we use colored paper which we print on? 80gsm?
Abbi says
I use 65 pound weighted which is 76 grams, so 80 grams should be fine. 🙂
Kristi says
Loving this tutorial and cannot wait to make some giant dahlias for baby girl’s nursery! I am just wondering (and maybe I missed it somewhere, in which case I apologize) roughly what size is the finished flower? Thank you!
Abbi says
The biggest one measures about 14-15 inches across. 🙂 Enjoy making them for your littles nursery!
nancy says
How big would i need to make the circle base to make it around 30″?
Abbi says
You will probably need to scale the circle base to around 20 inches for a 30-inch flower result. 🙂
Denise Gunther says
How do you hang them afterwards?
Abbi says

Nicole says
If I wanted to bring this down to roughly a 9″ finished flower, how would i change my sizes?
Abbi says
I would make the base about 7-8 inches and then you can use just the smaller squares for the petal cones. 🙂
Erica says
Maybe I looked over it but what was the 5 inch circle for?
Abbi says
The 5-inch circle is optional for downsizing the dahlia flower. 🙂
