Crepe Paper Queen Anne’s Lace
Fringed and Fabulous
Spring is in full bloom, and with it comes a renewed sense of light and life. We can practically feel the sunshine warming our faces, and the faintest scent of green is in the air. So, to celebrate the season’s fresh energy, we’ve designed this beautiful Crepe Paper Queen Anne’s Lace. These stunning flowers have made an appearance on our site before, but we just love this design for its super realistic appearance.

Since you'll need several tools for these Crepe Paper Queen Anne's Lace, we suggest getting everything ready and laid out beforehand. Additionally, patience is key for this advanced-level craft. We recommend using your cutting machine for this project to help speed things along. If you're new to crafting, this is a great project to perfect your fringing skills and tackle a more challenging design.
Now, this flower might look delicate and simple, but it holds a surprising secret. Did you know the Queen Anne's Lace "flower" we admire is actually a little party in disguise? Yup, those flat-topped clusters comprise thousands of tiny white florets, each a beautiful bloom in its own right. Talk about a masterpiece of miniature engineering!
To recreate the delicate beauty of Queen Anne's Lace, we used our extra-fine crepe paper in soft white hues. Then, we used our 24-gauge paper-covered floral wire and green tape to give our blooms that lifelike stem and structure. Lastly, a little Hansa Yellow PanPastel adds incredible depth and dimension to bring this project to life. Once finished, display them in a vase as a charming centerpiece, or use them to decorate your gifts and cards to add something special.
We're so excited for you to try this Crepe Paper Queen Anne's Lace and can't wait to see how it turns out. When you're all finished, be sure to tag us on Instagram with a pic of your amazing work. Or, share your photos in our crafters' community.

Back to the TopYou say to have linen, vanilla and chiffon crepe paper do you use each color for each bundle of flowers? So bundle 1 is linen, bundle 2 can be vanilla, etc. I will be working on this flower today.
So sorry this was a mistake in the materials it has now been updated, you only need the linen! However you could use vanilla and chiffon for some variety if you wish.
Lia,
They are so pretty. I will definitely be making Queen Anne’s Lace to use with the flowers I am making for my daughter to give to her teachers during Teacher Appreciation week next week.
Thank you to you and your team for creating such beautiful flowers to share with us every month.
Yay! I love that. And, you are so welcome. There is so much joy in sharing these crafts with you. 🙂
