crepe paper iris flowersThe Iris of the Beholder 

The iris is shrouded in meaning – royalty, faith, wisdom, hope… It is a truly special flower. We think our crepe paper iris flowers do a beautiful job of reflecting this. The intricate pattern and delicate nature of the extra fine crepe paper give this project a graceful and elegant feel. We made our flowers in white, but a classic iris in purple is another stunning option. You can find an SVG file in this Heavy Crepe Paper Iris post!

Shop our crepe paper and floral tape at our online shop. We used extra fine crepe in white and gold, and double sided crepe in green, but feel free to play around with colors of your choosing! For floral wire, we used white fabric covered wire in a 24-gauge and green floral wire in an 18-gauge.
