How I learned how to make Crepe Paper Flowers

Crepe Paper Flowers are so beautiful and fun to make, but when I started it was really hard to know which paper to buy, and what tools I needed! Because I've been making crepe paper flowers to almost two years now, I thought it would be helpful to share my experience in getting into this awesome craft, and what I learned along the way.

Thank you for this very informative, well-made video. Thanks for sharing information that will help us not go through many trials and tribulations.

That was so helpful. I haven’t started yet but I know a book will be under the tree this year and I can’t wait. Shame I’ve already bought quite a bit of useless stuff to get me started 😂 Yes please do a tutorial on painting and colouring petals . It makes such a difference to how realistic the flowers will be. So kind of you to share . Sending love to NZ from UK xx

Thank you so much! I started making giant crepe paper flowers a couple of years ago, as well but, you are so much farther along than I am! I just returned to this craft and thought I would brush up a bit and I am so glad I found you.
