Crepe Paper Clematis
If you watched this month’s inspiration video on the home page, then you know that this month we are all about purple! This crepe paper clematis is a brand-new flower for us that Meagan designed. And it looks even more stunning in our DIY geometric vase that Krista made out of paper.
This is an easy flower to make and simple enough to cut by hand. Or you can always use your Maker or Cameo 4 if you prefer.

Clever Clematis
Did you know the clematis is a symbol for being clever, original, and inventive? Pretty perfect for paper flower makers! To craft our crepe paper clematis bouquet, we made seven flowers and then added some filler greenery, which we show you how to make in the tutorial below. You will also see how we colored the petals using a white paint marker.
We can’t wait to see your version of this sweet, dainty flower. So make sure to share it with us on our Facebook page for members or by tagging #MadeWithLia on Instagram.
Crafting tips: Bend flower and leaf stems when finished to make them wiggly and look more like a vine. After attaching petals, hang the flower upside down until glue has dried to prevent petals from falling.

Back to the TopDo you think maybe you guys would want to do something like the Dutchman’s pipe vine? Or a chocolate vine? I live in the High desert of California and those don’t grow so well out here yet they’re my favorite. I love all your flowers though. Thanks for all that y’all do.
I will pass this on to Meagan for ideas. She is always looking for new plants to make. 🙂
I’m confused by which way to cup it. So with painted side down, cup the center?
Correct! You are cupping the unpainted side of the petals.
Thanks!
This isn’t about the clematis, but on my monthly membership is says I have 4 downloads left, and I was wondering if that meant until next month, or until I renew my membership? (on the 12)
Thanks
Hi Annie! The download limit resets the first of each month 🙂
I’m thinking the use of vine wire or binding wire would work great too.
Yes, the bind wire would make a nice hanging version.
