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!

Today I will also be providing a free template for you to create this exact flower. 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.

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.

Everyone’s petal count will vary. I used roughly 60 XL petals and 50 large petals for the flower you are seeing here. You may want to have two rolls on hand, just in case, though.

From the outer edges, I gradually worked my way inward. Learn more
