Every time I drive up to my house I sigh just a little. My neighbors have gorgeous flowers out in their yards – pots and plants and bushes – while I have seven hundred bikes, trikes, and scooters scattered across my yard. I’m not so good with flowers – you actually have to pay attention to them occasionally and give them water and all. I think I’ve killed every houseplant I’ve ever owned. So I’ve been loving all the paper flowers I’ve seen cropping up across the internet – I can’t believe how gorgeous and realistic many of them look. Plus I gotta say I really like the idea of beautiful blooms that will stay pretty for months with no extra effort required.
I’ve gathered up 20 of my favorite DIY paper flower tutorials here – some are so easy they’d make a great kid’s craft, while others are a little more involved. Many of them would be PERFECT decorations for weddings!
