We are making a new crepe paper lily for this month’s Member Make workshop! It’s been a couple of years since we last made this flower. And we’ve refined our techniques since then, so this new version looks even more realistic.

You can join our live workshop over on our Member Make page on September 23rd at 11:00am Pacific, and we will also post the recording here afterward so you can watch it as often as you want. In the meantime, get ready by checking out the supplies you’ll need below.

All I lily want to do is craft

We loved the burgundy calla lilies we made a while back, so we thought this color would be really gorgeous for our crepe paper lily as well. It’s such a great color for fall and winter, but of course you can always enjoy them in your home year-round. Or you can also make these flowers in a different color of crepe paper if you’d like.

Along with showing you a new way to make the stamen for this crepe paper lily, we will show you how to add more detail to your flowers using a variety of coloring tools. Once you’re done crafting your version, make sure to share it with us on our crafters community page! Or you can post photos on Instagram with the hashtags #MadeWithLia and #MemberMake.

Hey Team Lia, I have printed out Sept. MM and the template is coming up in DS 12-12 inches and the design is smaller than the SVG template. Is this an error of mine or am I doing something wrong? My Lily isn’t the same size to cut on the Maker and my flowers will be small petals, I am confused 😕 PLEASE HELP.

  The petals should be 4.35 inches tall if you would like to double check your pdf template. It sounds like you may be downsizing when printing, check the print settings to be sure you are printing at 100%.

Hi, I thought I saw somewhere that we should have our petals cut out before the workshop. Why is there both the single and double-sided colors. Are we making two different lily’s, one with the double-sided and one without? Or are they mixed? Which should I cut out ahead of time. 🙂

  Hi! Sorry we did not get to this before the workshop. You only have to cut the petals out if you want to craft along live with us. Many members don’t craft along with us and they just watch and join in the live chat, so you are free to do whatever you like! The cutting notes are in the template and SVG file. We made the petals and leaves in the double-sided, and we used the extra fine to wrap the stems.

Hi,
Just getting ready for my first Member Make and unsure from instructions what/how many to cut with each colour. Can you provide some advice?

Thanks!!

  Hi Tanya! The cutting notes are in the template and tell you exactly how many to cut of which piece and in what color. Let us know if you still need help now that our workshop is over!

I have a hard time with the tool too. I have extremely short thumbs and tool doesn’t do job for me. I hope a smaller one is in the works,

I just purchased a fresh marker pro blender pen. The package insert says there should be three pieces. What I have is one pan with one cap. When I shake the pan it does not make a noise like cause a ball is mixing. Inside the cap there’s a little device that has a spring on it in a plastic base is that supposed to come out? Help please

  Hi Barbara. I have not purchased the single pen that way since I have a large boxes set. Let me do some research and see what I can find about the blender.

I already have an alcohol marker, is it ok to use it? Or it has to be water based marker?

  @Yuria Prospero
  
  You can definitely use alcohol markers. 🙂

Hi,

Unless you want to purchase a box of the Karin markers, the red is not available anywhere. Is there another product we can use for this lovely project?

Thank you!

  You can also use Magenta. I added it to the post. I think Red is our most popular color and it is hard to keep in stock.

I am having a hard time with the curling tool. Is there a specific it should be held. My hands are not cooperating with me and it seems my petals on other projects are not curling enough. It looks so easy on the videos. Help!

  Hi Dorene! Do you have small hands? I think that sometimes it is trickier if that is the case (a solution to that is coming very soon). If you can nestle it into your hand’s palm so your thumb can press against the edge, you will get the best curl.
