Giant Crepe Paper Flower Newborn Nest

Having a newborn baby is such a special time.  For a long time, I have been wanting to make a tutorial for a giant crepe paper flower that can be used as a newborn nest photo prop!

I do not use my cutting machine for this project, since these are large petals and cutting these crepe petals by hand is way faster.

Supplies 

– Crepe Paper rolls – Foam Circle – Foam Poster Board  – Glue Gun + Tacky Glue – Scissors – Giant peony printable flower templates  – Muslin cloth

I held my cardstock template on top and cut around the template as a guide. Cutting all my petals for my newborn flower photo prop, took me a couple days.

To assemble my newborn crepe flower nest I started on the outside of my large foam circle, which was cut from a foam poster board. From the outer edges, I gradually worked my way inward.
