Paper flowers are everywhere . You see them at baby shower events , birthday parties , as nursery decor . Literally everywhere. They make a jaw dropping statement at any event . In my opinion flowers are the most popular item these days when it comes to decoration. They easily add a pop of color to any room . There are tons of ideas out there to make paper flowers. Lots of templates, designs and methods. I finally decided to give it a try . It was super easy and fun to make this giant paper flower. I hand cut everything and glued it together with hot glue gun. I used cardstock from the dollar tree . Party decor on a budget . Woohoo !
Supply list -
1. Cardstock (neon pink and green )
2. Scissors
3. Glue gun
4. Pencil/pen to draw the template
5. Cardboard as a base (used an Amazon parcel box )
Step by step instructions -
1. Trace a petal and a leaf template on cardstock. Once you finalize the shape and size cut one petal and a leaf to trace it several times .
2. Cut out each leaf and petal shape. 
3. Cut midway at the base going towards the tip of the petal but only halfway
4. Hot glue one side overlapping the slits.
5. Cut a circular base out of cardboard or any box. Glue the petal onto the base.
6. Add leaves to the bottom of the base cardboard
Tips-
1.It is very important to choose the right paper for these flowers. Stock up on sales or use a coupon when buying in bulk from craft stores .
2. You can use a craft cutting machine like Cricut or Silhoutte to help cut the templates. Use SVG cut files for templates .
3. Curl edges of the flower petals so they look more realistic. Use a dowel rod or highlighters for the same .
