cardstock paper daffodils

Get the creative juices growing

These cardstock paper daffodils make such beautiful decor for spring. Simply place a few in a vase, or you can add them to a paper bouquet. They would also make a lovely centerpiece for an Easter brunch or other spring celebration.

As always, you can use whatever paper colors you prefer when making your flowers. Meagan chose a white shade for these cardstock paper daffodils, and then added some pale yellow lines to the petals with a brushmarker. We’d love to see your version, so be sure to share it with us in our crafter’s community or on Instagram with the hashtag #MadeWithLia.

Skill level: Intermediate due to using more advanced shaping techniques with the steel ball tool

Crafting tips: When using the steel ball shaping tools with paper or cardstock, always use a soft surface that has some give. I like to use a folded up piece of scrap felt, or an ironing board also works great.
