We are making a brand-new flower for this month’s Member Make! The mokara orchid is a cross of three different types of orchids and looks stunning in bouquets, arrangements, and centerpieces. If you want to learn how to make this crepe paper mokara orchid, check out our tools and materials list below.

Once you’ve got all your supplies ready and downloaded our flower pattern, you can join me and Emily live on September 24th at 11:00 am PDT. As always, we will be giving out a prize during the live, so make sure and tune in if you can!

Orange you glad we made this?

You can make your crepe paper mokara orchid in an orange combo as well as the pink combo. For my flowers, I switched up the centers for the petal colors, which you can also do — or not do! The choice is yours and you can get as creative as you’d like. 

If you want to make your flowers during the live workshop, make sure to read our crafting tip and instructions below. On average, mokara orchids have about 6–10 blooms per stem, which are shaped like a starfish. And again, you can play around with how many blooms you want on a stem. I chose to have five blooms and love how they look!

Skill level: Intermediate 

Crafting tip: You can prep for this workshop by watching our mini course on how to make double-sided crepe paper
