How to Make Paper Flowers

HOW TO MAKE PAPER FLOWERS

How much do I love paper flowers? Almost as much as I love my Cricut! (read my Cricut Explore Air 2 review to see exactly why I think it’s so great).

Related: Still learning about cutting machines and paper crafting? Here are a few articles with everything you need to know:

Even though I love everything my cutting machine can do, I’m not a Cricut expert. I recently asked a friend, Can you make paper flowers with a Cricut?

She assured me that making them with a Cricut is a super easy project. All you need is the right card stock, Cricut tools, the best glue for the project and, of course, a Cricut!

When she told me how easy it was, I asked her to help me with making a paper flower tutorial. She went one step farther and also created a free Cricut flower template SVG file to share with all of you!

Now, if you want to make paper flowers with a Cricut, you can download my paper flowers SVG file or the template and follow this step-by-step tutorial.

You’ll be on your way to your own collection in just a few minutes!

How to make paper flowers with a Cricut

Learning how to make paper flowers with a Cricut machine is incredibly easy. I’m not kidding – when you see how simple it is you’re going to wonder why it took you so long to learn!

The template included at the end of the post will make small flowers – about 1 inch in diameter.

If you want bigger paper flowers, just make the svg image bigger after you upload it to Cricut Design Space.

Here’s a quick summary of how you’re going to make these Cricut flowers:

  1. Download the Cricut flower template and load it into Design Space.
  2. Cut out a single strip of cardstock in a scalloped spiral pattern.
  3. Roll the paper around itself.
  4. Dab hot glue on the bottom to secure the paper to itself.

Done!

Ok, you’ll need a few more instructions than that to successfully make this craft. But, believe me, you’ll be making paper flowers in minutes once you have the template and you’re ready to start creating!

Materials needed for Cricut flowers

  1. Free Cricut flower template (Scroll down to download it for free!)
