Happy Monday! I know it is now July and most of the dogwood trees have dropped their blooms, but. . . wouldn’t it be nice to keep those blooms just a little longer? These blooming branches are made with crepe paper. With my pattern that you can download and print below along with the tutorial, these branches are one of the simplest to make in my crepe paper flower series. I love using the paper covered vine wire for the stems as it already looks like a woody branch. Stay tuned for this flower tutorial to be in video later this month too! Cheers! ~ Lia

So Beautiful!!
What kind of paper are these dogwood flowers made of. Have you used the double sided crepe paper to make these dogwood flowers?

  Thank you Brenda! I used metallic text weight paper for these flowers. Double-sided crepe would be BEAUTIFUL– you could use this pattern 🙂 https://liagriffith.com/diy-dogwood-branches-from-italian-crepe-paper/

Lia, I adore your lovely ideas. I’m wondering if regular crepe paper rolls (used for streamers) can be used for some of your smaller paper flower projects? I can’t find sheets of the paper in stores & can’t afford the large sheets & I’m not comfortable ordering online. Thank – you in advance. Your biggest fan… Dee

  Hi Dee, I haven’t tried using the paper rolls used for streamers but give it a go. They are a little thinner so just be delicate. Let me know if it works.

Actually, I was wondering about using it unwrapped to make the leaves and petals. Do you think that would work? I inherited a boatload of it, lol!

Can you use paper twist for this project?

  Hi Leslie. Sure, I would suggest twisting the paper twist around a wire (gluing is securely at each end) so that it is a bit more bendable than just the paper twist.

Such beautiful flowers! I love all the crepe paper flowers you do, such a shame that you cannot get this quality and weight of crepe paper here in the UK, I just have to admire your work from afar. Look forward to some more tissue paper flowers, as these I can do!

  I will bet that someone in UK sells the Italian crepe paper. The maker is Cartotecnica Rossi. Do a little search on the internet or reach out to them and see who they sell to in UK.
