With so much uncertainty going on in the world currently, we have been looking forward to coming together to create something beautiful. For our March Member Make, we are showing you how to make a crepe paper Easter lily plant. Easter lilies are a symbol of hope, and we cannot think of a more fitting flower to make at the moment.
While our Member Make workshops are typically private and available for members only, we feel it’s important to provide everyone with more opportunities for social connection right now. So this month we are giving everyone free access to our live workshop and flower pattern!
Spread a lily love
Along with being a symbol of hope, there’s something so peaceful about this crepe paper Easter lily. We hope it will serve as a positive reminder for you over these next few weeks and continue to lift your spirits long after!
How to Join our Member Make Challenge
- This month, anyone is free to watch the video as we craft this crepe paper Easter lily.

Thanks Lia,
I don’t know how to say this without sounding mushy but Lia you are as beautiful as your flowers. Both inside and out. You just glow. I love your tutorials. You are always happy, positive and reassuring. You absolutely lift me up. Thank you for all you offer. I suggest a live tutorial for each flower. That is the best way for me to learn. I need to SEE each step. And watch you. You make me want to be more positive. Again thank you and your team
Thank you, Jean. Such a sweet message. I am blushing. I agree that we should have tutorials (live and recorded) for all flowers! We are making a dent with our member make workshops and now our new maker workshop series. More!!
first ty vm for the pattern and vid..just an off question..i want to try the pan pastels but when i check them out there is the option of tint or shade sets..which should i get?..on a (senior) budget..ty for sharing your awesomness during these trying times huggzz
Hi Gail! If you want to purchase the exact PanPastels we used for this project, we have noted the number of the product so you know exactly if it’s a tint or shade. I just added direct links to each one in the post to make sure it’s very clear 🙂
Would the template from the masterclass work for this potted plant, or would it better to use these templates for that?
They are different designs so if you just want to make a potted tulip (not specifically this Easter Lily variety) then you could use the Master Class template 🙂
Hi! I have an idea for a future “member make”

Hi Vanetia,
In the drop down menu under Paper Flowers we have an entire section with all of our bouquets.
Crafting with you keeps me sane these days! I love, love to make the beautiful flowers you have designed. I have even given some of them away, hopefully bringing some sunshine to someone else as well!
So glad you are enjoying our flowers Stacey! 🙂
This is a time for all of us to reflect on what is important , such as peace and hope.
Thank you Lia and crew for all of your wonderful posts and comments. It shows that there are people who are thoughtful and kind.
Fond regards Donna
