Sure! Here’s a step-by-step tutorial to make curled paper flowers that resemble lavender. These are simple to make and look beautiful for crafts, cards, or decor.
Materials Needed:
- Colored paper (thin or craft paper)
- Green paper or green floral wire (for the stem)
- Scissors
- Glue or glue stick
- Pencil or toothpick (for curling)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Cut Paper Strips
- Cut the paper into strips about 1 inch wide and 6 inches long.
Step 2: Fringe the Strips
- Take each strip and cut slits along one long edge, about 3/4 of the way down. The slits should be around 1/8 inch wide, like tiny fringe.
- Be careful not to cut all the way through.
Step 3: Curl the Fringes
- Use a pencil or toothpick to gently curl each fringe outward.
- Roll each little fringe back toward you to mimic the soft curves.
Step 4: Make the Stem
- If using green paper: roll it tightly into a straw-like stem and glue to secure.
- I have used straw as a quicker alternative.
Step 5: Roll the Flower
- Start at one end of a fringed strip and wrap it around the top of your stem, keeping the curled petals at the top.
- Add a bit of glue along the bottom (uncut edge) as you roll to secure.
Step 6: Finish with Leaves
- Cut thin leaf shapes from green paper and glue a couple near the base of the flower head for a more realistic look.
And the Curled paper flowers are ready.
