We had some new members join us for last month’s Member Make! And it really makes me and my team happy to see so many more people crafting right now. Whether you’re brand-new to making flowers or have been crafting for years, there’s always something new to learn. And we’re always grateful to be your guides and support you along your creative journey.

With that being said, we can’t wait to show you how to make these crepe paper gladiolus flowers. These flowers are known for their tall flower spikes and large blooms. But their blooms can range in size from less than three inches in diameter to greater than five inches across. The plants can also be anywhere from two to five feet tall and come in a variety of colors.

As you can probably tell, there’s a lot of room for creativity with this flower when it comes to size and color. We made our crepe paper gladiolus flowers on the smaller side, but you can always play around with your flowers and see what you like best. That’s what Member Make is all about!

If you haven’t joined us for Member Make before, be sure to read the instructions on how to participate. Otherwise, scroll on down for the tools and materials list plus the flower pattern.
