Easy paper flower tutorials are something I think every crafter should have bookmarked for possible use in a variety of projects.
The opportunities to incorporate paper flowers into a project are endless. To get your creative juices flowing, here are some ways you might choose to use them:
- Pull a “bouquet” together to bring to a friend in the hospital or someone who is sick and needs a pick-me-up.
- Create colorful paper flower centerpieces for a special event. These would be a unique addition to a baby shower, for example.
- Design and donate handmade cards to hospitals, senior centers, and nonprofits that support care foster families.
One of the important things I always remember about choosing between paper flowers and live flowers is that not everyone can handle strong fragrances or scents.
In fact, I know people who are highly sensitve and even the mildest flowers (along with the filler greenery) trigger a headache.
So, I typically default to paper flowers unless I know the person can manage to have live flowers near them.
The list of paper flower tutorials below, is therefore just as much for me as it is for you!
