This Crepe Paper Freedom Bell Camellia is an intermediate-level project perfect for anyone who loves crafting florals and is in the mood for a little challenge. Having a cutting machine really speeds up the process, especially when cutting out the intricate details of the petals and leaves. But don't worry—if you prefer to cut by hand, you'll still have gorgeous results with a little patience and care.

The Freedom Bell Camellia is often regarded as a symbol of purity, beauty, and strength. Throughout history, the camellia has been celebrated in art and culture for its graceful form and vibrant color. Incorporating this lovely flower into your Christmas decor speaks to both holiday joy and enduring beauty.

And we're all about offering you fun and unique twists on traditional holiday decor to shake things up a bit.
