Crepe Paper Foxglove

As Sly as a Fox(glove)

There are usually anywhere from 20–80 flowers on each spike of a foxglove. However, since our crepe paper foxglove is not five feet tall, we went with the lower end of that range when making our flowers. You can always experiment with your creation, but we would say that around 20 or 25 flowers is all you need for this size of foxglove.

When you start crafting your crepe paper foxglove, you can make yours in whatever color you prefer. We chose a light pink crepe paper and then colored the petals with a darker pink PanPastel to add more detail. This will also make the top and inside of the flower look more pale, which is how a real foxglove looks. After coloring our petals, we used a dark pink art marker to create the characteristic spots of a foxglove.

Everything we used to make this crepe paper foxglove is linked below, and you can find the downloads you need at the end of the post. If you have any questions, just leave us a comment!

  1. Gather tools and materials. Then download the flower pattern below.
  2. Cut out crepe paper according to the pattern, using either your scissors or Cricut Maker/Silhouette Cameo 4.
  3. Use a paintbrush to apply PanPastels to both sides of petals. Add white dots to top of petals and maroon dots on and around white dots.
  4. Stretch center of petals and curl top edge outward. Glue and attach two sides of petal together so the curled edge is flipped outwards.
