DIY Giant Paper Flowers Tutorial - Maison de Pax

Transform your space with stunning giant paper flowers that are not only visually striking but also easy to make! At Maison de Pax, we believe that handcrafted decor can bring a unique charm to any room. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the simple steps to create your very own oversized blooms using materials that are likely readily available in your craft supplies.

What You'll Need:

• Coloured tissue paper or card stock (choose shades that suit your décor)
• Scissors
• Tape or glue
• A pencil
• Floral wire or wooden dowels (for stems)
• Optional: paint or embellishments for added flair

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Petals: Start by cutting the tissue paper into petal shapes. We recommend a variety of sizes for a more dynamic look; larger petals form the base, while smaller ones contribute to the flower's fullness.

2. Layering: Once your petals are cut, stagger them in layers, starting with the largest at the back and gradually working towards the smallest on top. Secure each layer with tape or glue.

3. Forming the Flower Centre: For the centre of your flower, you can create smaller rolled paper circles or use pom-poms for a softer touch.

4. Assembling: After you have your petals, it's time to assemble the flower by attaching the centre to the layered petals. Make sure everything is secured tightly.

5. Creating the Stem: Using floral wire or wooden dowels, attach your flower to create a stable stem. You can wrap the stem in green tape or paint it for a more natural finish.

6. Display: Finally, position your new paper flower in a vase, attach it to a wall, or hang it as part of a garland to enhance your decor.

With just a few simple steps, these DIY giant paper flowers can add a touch of whimsy and elegance to your home. Happy crafting!
