Supplies Needed for Chrysanthemum Paper Flowers:

How to Make Chrysanthemum Paper Flowers Step-by-Step

Seven pink paper Chrysanthemum  flower petals sit on a whitewashed wood work surface. There are four larger petals, and three medium sized petals.

Step 1: Cut Chrysanthemum Layers

Cut out seven chrysanthemum layers. Three will be slightly smaller than the first four petals; they comprise the center of the flower.

Abbi uses a Cricut rolling tool to roll the edges of a pink paper Chrysanthemum Flower layer, making the very edge of the flower petals roll upwards in a natural way.

Step 2: Curl the Chrysanthemum Flower Petals

Curl all petals inward as if you’re rolling up a roll of paper. The larger four petals should be less curled and the smaller three petals should be progressively tighter curls. You can use your rolling tool or a wood dowel to curl the petals.

Abbi uses her fingers to give the paper Chrysanthemum Flower petals a deeper curlm rolling the edges of the petals inwards towards the center of the flower.

When you get down to the three smaller petals, especially the last one that will be the very center, give it some deep curls. Your fingers are probably going to work better at this point.

Step 3: Layer all Chrysanthemum Flower Petals

The next steps are to simply layer all 7 pieces together, starting with the 4 larger ones.

Abbi places a second chrysanthemum flower layer on top of previous pink paper flower layers to create a fuller flower.

Abbi uses the shaping tool and rolling mat to curl the final Chrysanthemum flower layer inwards, before adding it to the almost-complete pink paper Chrysanthemum flower.

For the last 1-2 small chrysanthemum center layers, use the shaping mat and ball rolling tool to roll the center even tighter, creating a more seamless look.

Step 4: Add the Final Chrysanthemum Layer

Add in final centerpieces. Adjust pieces as necessary by curling tighter.

Large chrysanthemums like these make lovely giant flower centers. In the photo below I have combined Eden-style petals with a chrysanthemum center.

If you’re using the templates with a cutting machine, follow these same steps and downsize, as needed, for smaller centers.
