Do you add color to both sides of petals?
Yes, both sides have the color added.
i cant seem to get the center of my flower as fluffy and as full as the picture 🙁
Hi Joyce!
Try doubling the amount of center pieces you use, 16 instead of 8! We will adjust the template accordingly, it looks like the center piece was made a bit to short.

Hi Janett! Could you send an email to hello@liagriffith.com? We’ll get this figured out!
I can’t seem to find templates for leaves as show,n or any leaves templates.
Hi Janett! We used a mixture of paper and real plants for this particular display. The leaves are real life eucalyptus leaves, we love eucalyptus for a filler!
If you would like to create your own you can find some of our paper eucalyptus plants here: https://liagriffith.com/search/Eucalyptus
We hope this helps!
Thanks Lia, you are the best!
Thank you Janett, we’re happy to help!
