Summertime is in full swing and that means bright, cheerful, and tropical vibes coming your way! Today I am going to teach you how to make these beautiful crepe paper plumeria flowers. You can create these with or without stems and you will see how to do both in the video tutorial below. This plumeria tutorial is an easy small paper flower that any beginner can do!

Tropical blooms have graced the blog many times before now with my most recent hibiscus crepe flower tutorial and even several giant flower designs, like my giant hibiscus and Hawaiian bloom made with cardstock paper.

Cut out your plumeria petals

I cut out 5-6 petals for this flower. Plumerias typically have 5, but you can do some with 6 for variation. You can hand-cut with scissors using the printable PDF files or use the SVG cut files with a cutting machine like the Cricut Maker, which cuts crepe paper with a rotary blade!

A colorful bunch of orange, white and pink plumeria flowers rest on green leaves on a light grey tabletop with a blue backdrop. "Abbi Kirsten Collections" is written in pink text in the lower left-hand corner. The flowers are made from delicate crepe paper and a Cricut machine.

These paper plumeria flowers are very easy to make and simplistic. Get playful with the colors and the panpastel pigments, which really make them come to life.

  1. Cut your crepe petals out on your Cricut machine or with a pair of scissors
  2. Distress the petals (optional) with distress ink or pan pastels and ink daubers
