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.

Skill level: Beginner

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.
