Glue the third wide petal into place so that the three petals are evenly spaced. Place it one third of the way around the stem from the first petal. Glue the next wide petal on in the same way, but glue its tabs over the tabs of the previous petal. The side of the petal that goes toward the stem is the one with the single yellow-green highlight, and the side away from the stem has the yellow-green bursting highlight. Glue a wide petal just below the stamens, wrapping the two little tabs around the stem. Wrap the petals around a cylinder such as a round pencil to create curves in the petals. You may need to trim them a bit to get them to the correct length of approximately two and a half inches.Ĭut a small slit in the non-pointed end of each petal. Glue all 5 of the stamens (7+8) into one end of the stem, angling them slightly so that they are spaced out (picture 010 and 014). (picture 009) Make 5 of these.Ĭreate the stem by rolling 9 around a toothpick starting at the narrowest point and ending in a way that leaves you with a solid green straw. This will give you three narrow petals and three wide petals.Ĭut out 7 and curl the ends toward the center with the red on the outside using a toothpick, then glue 8 in between the curls. Glue the petals together by attaching 1 to 1b, 2 to 2b, and so on. Print pages 8 through 12 to create one lily.Ĭut 8 out in blocks so that you can fold them in half and glue them so that there is yellow on both sides (picture 008), then cut out the curvy stem. I chose stargazer lilies because the bright pink on satin white is lovely it's no wonder that butterflies are attracted to them.

Glue 5ab to 3ab in the same way, then glue 3ab to 6, completing the vase. Glue the remaining tabs on 2abc to the narrower part of 5ab. (picture 006) If you have long tweezers, they can help in pressing the pieces together without bending the paper.

Glue The outer tabs of 1 to the wider end of 2abc. Glue the inner tabs of 1 to the wider end of 4ab. Glue all of the tiny tabs in the inside of pieces 5a and 5b, then glue the larger inside tabs(picture 002). Glue the tabbed end of 4a to the non-tabbed end of 4b, and the tabbed end of 4b to the non-tabbed end of 4a. Glue the tabbed end of 3a to the non-tabbed end of 3b, and the tabbed end of 3b to the non-tabbed end of 3a. Glue the tabbed end of 2c to the non-tabbed end of 2a.

Glue the tabbed end of 2b to the non-tabbed end of 2c. Glue the tabbed end of 2a to the non-tabbed end of 2b. When gluing the tabs, always put the glue on the side of the piece with the printed lines, as shown in picture 002.

In picture 001, the piece on the right has a series of mountain folds, and the piece on the left has valley folds. A mountain fold is one where the paper is folded away from the line to make a 'mountain,' and the valley fold is the opposite. Dotted lines should be mountain folded while the dash-dot-dash lines should be valley folded. Score all of the dotted lines and fold them. You may want to pencil the item number on the tabs so that it is easier to keep track of which piece is which. It is best made from card stock, but can also be made from plain or colored paper.Ĭut out all of the pieces by cutting on all of the solid lines. This vase is the perfect size for the bouquet pictured. Using one of each, swapping out depending on need is best. I prefer an old plastic card like a club card they are stiff enough to work with, but short enough to not get in the way. You can use a dead ball point pen, but I use an embossing tool I bought at a local scrapbooking store.Ī ruler works well, but can be a bit awkward due to length. The flowers will not look right at all if you do this in black and white. If you do not have card stock, regular paper will work, but you may need to glue two sheets together. I use regular printer paper for the majority of this, but I prefer card stock for the vase. A large needle or a very fine skewer would also work. I use a combination of scissors and a craft knife, changing tools depending on the size and shape of the part I am cutting. You can use school glue, but it will take longer to dry. Creating this bouquet will take some time, but the result is worth the effort. With paper flowers, there is no wilting or water, and they last for a very long time. Cut flowers are lovely, but they can be quite expensive and do not last for very long.
