Crepe Annabelle Hydrangea—Master Class Workshop
Crepe Annabelle Hydrangea—Master Class Workshop
Heavenly Hydrangea
Lush, abundant, and endlessly romantic, our Crepe Annabelle Hydrangea brings garden elegance to this month’s master class collection. Made from clusters of tiny four-petaled florets, these oversized blooms create the kind of fullness that instantly transforms an arrangement. Meanwhile, the soft green-to-cream coloring gives each stem a fresh, natural softness that feels timeless in any season.
Featured in our new book, Paper Flower Garden, these Crepe Annabelle Hydrangeas also serve as the third flower in our new Paper Flower Garden Master Class. So, it builds upon the branching techniques introduced in our Crepe Meadowlark Forsythia and the color blending explored in our Crepe Paper Apricot Lemonade Cosmos. When you bundle the skills, tips, and techniques we explore in all three workshops, you walk away with enough knowledge to keep your gorgeous indoor garden forever in bloom.

Although these Crepe Annabelle Hydrangeas require a bit of patience, the payoff is absolutely worth it. For this workshop, you’ll transition into using extra-fine crepe paper for the delicate florets while also incorporating PanPastel for subtle depth and dimension. Additionally, glossy ModPodge-treated leaves help balance the softness of the blooms with realistic texture and structure.
One of the most fascinating things about Annabelle hydrangeas is their changing color throughout the season. Early blooms appear soft green before gradually fading into creamy white and eventually antique parchment tones. Consequently, you can customize your paper version to reflect whichever stage speaks to you. Additionally, the oversized blooms create such a soft, cloudlike effect that even a single finished stem can completely transform the mood of an arrangement or tabletop display.
Because these blooms create such impressive fullness, they work beautifully as focal flowers in larger arrangements. In fact, they pair especially well with the airy movement of our Meadowlark Forsythia, the soft color variation of our Apricot Lemonade Cosmos, and upcoming master class favorites like Clematis Blue Light, Stephanotis, and Lady Fern.
