Begin by laying you template on your cardstock of choice and trace your petals.

Once completed these templates make about a 17 inch flower in diameter! Cut all your petals out once you have finished tracing.

Now you want to cut slits at the bottom center of each petal, about an 1 1/2 inches, slightly less on the smaller petals.

Now starting with the 1st layer put glue on the inside edge and overlap the slit, but not too much or your petals will be too tight when assembled to get all the smaller layers in.

Easy Method When Building Giant Paper Flowers

Making paper flowers is so fun and there are so many wonderful tutorials out there!

I want to share the simplest method I’ve found for easily learning How to Make Large Paper Flowers.

Supplies

– Every Style Template

– 65 pound cardstock – Scissors – Pencil – Wood dowel – Cutting machine (optional) – Glue gun

Begin by laying you template on your cardstock of choice and trace your petals.

Instructions

Once completed these templates make about a 17 inch flower in diameter! Cut all your petals out once you have finished tracing.

Now you want to cut slits at the bottom center of each petal, about an 1 1/2 inches, slightly less on the smaller petals.
