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.
This workshop is for members of our crafting community, so if you’d like a free version of this flower, make sure to check out our frosted paper Easter lily.
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!

I found you on the Lily tutorial on YouTube and followed a link to download the pdf for that flower but it was the wrong pdf. The right one was linked in the comments. I just got here and Iβm already bummed I wasted a download. :β(
Hi Rachel. This is our most recent lily with the best template, and it has a video to go. So, I feel you got the best version with your download.
I know this project is from two years ago, but I just made it today for the first time. After printing out all of my petals and seeing how long they are I took a trip to Michaels and found a 16 oz bottle of tacky glue (Aleene’s) that works perfectly for the dipping method. Since the bottle is 7 inches tall it works perfectly for these longer petals. I wanted to share for anyone who prefers this method like I do!
That is a great idea! Thank you for sharing, Grace.
Can you please tell me which crepe paper color and which side of that crepe paper you use are using to wrap the stems? Is it grren tea or cypress or ferns or moss? Thank you.
The stems are wrapped with the extra-fine crepe paper, not the double-sided. The thinner paper allows it to stretch and lay smooth on the stem.
Thanks Lia,
I donβt 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 π
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 π
Hi! I have an idea for a future βmember makeβ

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! π
