Doll Up With Some Dahlias
For these crepe paper dahlias, I chose soft white shades and colored some of the petals with PanPastel to give them a pink tinge. I love how dreamy and romantic they look! Of course, if you prefer a bolder color for your dahlias, you can always choose a different color of crepe paper. Maybe you want to craft merlot-colored dahlias instead?
Whatever color of paper you choose, these crepe paper dahlias will look so stunning in your home. They’d also look gorgeous in a bridal bouquet. When you’re done crafting them, make sure to share your dahlias with us on Instagram with the hashtag #MadeWithLia. Or post them on our private Facebook group for members!

Hello….What iron oxide pan pastel are you using? Dick Blick has 4 options for this pastel. Thank you!
Hi Pilar,
We have updated the post with the correct color, it is Red Iron Oxide Tint (380.8)
Love this flower, but since I bought the Maker, just wondered if a SVG file would be available on this flower. Of course, I am spoiled for by the Maker vs. hand cutting. I am going to hand cut regardless since I just love this flower, Just saying, an SVG file would be wonderful since there are so many petals involved. Thanks for all you do for us flower makers. You provide no matter our skill level. I appreciate you.
Thank you Elaine! We have added the SVG files for this flower. We’re adding SVGs to our older projects (pre-Maker!) as requests come in, so feel free to comment on others that you may need, and we’ll add them to our list 🙂
Wow! You even give names and websites of competitors! Would have been so easy to say “Sorry, we can’t ship to Canada yet,” but you took the time to find a solution for your customer. So very impressed.
We really try to help our readers, no matter what! 🙂
Lia……I chose to make the dahlia in your blush/chiffon double sided crepe paper. I must say, without bragging, of course, it is GORGEOUS. It is definitely worth the time to cut/glue the petals. Thanks
Yay I’m so happy to hear this!!
Hi there! When printing the template, the petals seem quite small. Is the download set to the correct size? Or do we need to enlarge it to make it the correct size? Thank you!
Hi! The template is correct– the petals are on the smaller side!
So excited!!! One of my favourite flowers!! I can’t access your extra fine crepe in Canada yet, what weight do you suggest I use to make these?
Thanks!
Ugh we truly hope we can ship to Canada soon! Our crepe paper is between 30-40g, but the stretch is a more important factor to consider than the weight when making paper flowers. Our extra-fine crepe paper has a 130% stretch which lends itself well to a more natural, delicate looking crepe paper flower. I’m not sure what’s available in Canada but did find this post that has a couple sources and may be helpful! https://www.weddingwire.com/wedding-forums/finding-crepe-paper-in-canada-not-the-streamers/9f5dcafa8156cf8d.html
