Crepe Paper Crocus Plant
Crocuses are one of the first flowers to pop up during the winter season. And while they only bloom for about 2–5 weeks, they’re a welcoming reminder that spring is near. One easy way to enjoy these cheerful little blooms indoors for longer is to craft your own crepe paper crocus plant.
You may remember that we have crafted crocuses out of crepe paper once before, but today we have a new version for you. We also potted our plant this time! Just download our flower pattern and photo tutorial below to get started.

Hocus Crocus
There’s something magical about transforming crepe paper into a beautiful flower that lasts forever. For our crepe paper crocus plant, we thought it would be pretty to combine two different colors in one pot. Our lilac crepe paper is the perfect spring shade and chiffon is one of our most popular crepe paper colors.
Similar to our other crocus, our designer Meagan colored the stamen as well as the purple petals. Coloring your flowers is a great way to add more detail and depth! If you’re new to this technique, make sure to check out our video tutorial for tips on using PanPastel.
How to Make a Crepe Paper Crocus Plant
- Gather your craft tools and materials. Then download the flower template below.
- Cut crepe paper according to the template using scissors or a cutting machine.
- Use your detail scissors to fringe the tip of the stamen.
- Color the stamen with a yellow marker and twist each of the three stamen.

Leave a CommentAre Lia Griffith crepe papers fireproof?
The only way paper can be “fireproof” would be to saturate them with a heavy flame retardant chemical. We will not do that. It is best to keep all paper away from flames. And water. 😉
Hi Lia,
May I have the colour code for the white Panpastel please? Thanks
Updated!
Thank you for your response Lia. I am subscribed on the mailing list and look forward to the next crepe paper flowers master class.
Michele
Wonderful! See you there. 🙂
Hi Lia,
I am just starting out to making your crepe paper flowers. They are amazing. Do you have a video tutorial online on the crocus flower? Thank you
Michele
Hi Michele, we do not have a video for this flower. But, we have many videos for other flowers. Also, if you are new to crepe paper flower making, be sure to get onto our mailing list so that you can sign up for our next Crepe Paper Flower Master Class. This is a perfect place to start as a beginner. If you are interested you can even take the frosted paper flower class that starts in May. https://liagriffith.com/
How big was the pot you used, it is so hard to tell in pictures?
I will have to guess, but I would say 4 inches across by 5 tall.
Love the crocus! Planing on making it as soon as I get the secret garden collection
YES! One of our favorites 🙂
What is a good alternative to white pan pastel? None in stock where I live…
Several of our members have used eye shadow in place of PanPastels! Chalk pastels would also work.
I’m planning to make this project but I’d like to use an eco alternative to floral foam if possible. Is there anything that you’d recommend?
You can use rice, or chicken wire! Then cover with moss.
I’ve had my eye on this project for a while — your 25% off sale was the push I needed. Very excited to make this!!
Wunderschön. Auch super als kleines Mitbringsel.
Amazing work!! Looking for more from you.
