Magnolias for your Mantel

This crepe paper tulip magnolia branch would look amazing on your mantel, on a living room or dining room console table, or in your entryway. It’s a great statement piece—so no matter where you place your branch, it will stand out! Along with deciding where it will go, you’ll also need to pick the color of paper you want for your flowers.

We typically make our magnolias using white and cream paper colors. But you could craft them in various shades of pink or purple too. We have created a pink magnolia branch before, which also features crepe paper blooms but has a different look.

When you’re ready to start crafting your crepe paper tulip magnolia branch, just follow the tutorial below. And be sure to share your finished project with us on our Facebook page for members or by using the hashtag #MadeWithLia.

  2. Cut crepe paper according to template notes, using your Cricut Maker or scissors.

  4. Use tacky glue to glue and wrap stamen around the tip of an 18-gauge wire (start wrapping at the longer end of the fringed stamen).
