While real and silk flowers are great, crepe paper flowers are becoming more and more popular. We have seen them used as wall décor to spruce up bedrooms, nurseries and even storefronts of retail spaces! They make a nice embellishment on gifts and are a fun craft to make with or without the kids. A whole trio or quartet of crepe paper flowers makes a gorgeous everlasting bouquet as well. We have even seen some brides opting for large, full paper flower bouquets as opposed to real ones.

    These flowers are beautiful! I can’t wait to make them although I want to try much smaller sizes. Do you have pattern size suggestions for a 2″ tall flower? Thank you.

      Thank you so much! We’re so glad you love the flowers and are excited to make your own. While we don’t have a specific template for a 2″ tall version, you can definitely scale the pattern down to suit your needs. We recommend reducing the size proportionally on a copier or printer until you get the height you’re looking for.

    Hi..do you have a template for teardrop petal n heart ?
    Thank you

    • Gabrielle at Paper Mart January 6, 2020

      Hi Audrey! Thanks for asking! Right now, we do not have a template for the teardrop petals or heart shapes. For these crepe paper flowers, we stuck with general teardrop and heart shapes to get a blossoming effect. Depending on what you want your florals to look like, we encourage you to get creative and experiment with different petal sizes!
