This project is a great fit for intermediate-level creators who feel ready to slow things down and make with intention. While tulips may look simple at first glance, their complexity shows up in their soft curves and signature silhouette. This is a flower that prioritizes form, so take your time with each new strategy and trust the process.
In this workshop, we’ll be with you as you gather your materials, all the way to the finished product, so you feel confident regardless of your skill level. We’ll focus on gentle stretching, careful cupping, and precise placement to construct the perfect paper flower. Above all, our Crepe Paper Lilac Love Tulips Video Workshop is here to support you, answer your questions, and help you connect with other crafters as you bring this lovely flower to life.
If you don’t have double-sided crepe paper on hand, you can use extra-fine crepe paper to create your own double-sided version. It’s a simple technique that works beautifully for this flower. Watch the full tutorial here.
Visually, these Crepe Paper Lilac Love Tulips are a stunning testament to the absolute marvel of early spring. For instance, the soft lilac hue brings a sense of calm and whimsy to your space—perfect for quiet April mornings or early summer evenings. Additionally, they pair well with deeper purples, soft creams, and fresh greens for a gorgeous seasonal arrangement.
From there, style your finished tulips in a narrow vase for a clean, modern look, or mix them into a fuller arrangement for a symphony of style and color. Whether you let them shine on their own or pair them with bolder blooms, these pretty tulips bring gentle sophistication to your handmade floral collection.
When your Crepe Paper Lilac Love Tulips are ready, share them with us in our crafters’ community and on social using #MadeWithLia. We’re so excited to see you bloom this season!

Leave a CommentMade these, liked the alternative paper middle but I found the hot glue 3 drop drip method covered with paper a bit more realistic. Loved using the paper instead of wires that I tried previously for the individual pollen fingers. Just beautiful and enjoy different techniques and details.
I love the hot glue method as well! Both are great techniques 🙂
Is there a video or tutorial on this three-drop method?
You can find it in this video: https://liagriffith.com/january-2024-member-make-crepe-paper-double-tulips/
If I am making this using the extra fine lilac made into double-sided, would you suggest any adjustments to the pan pastel and marker since both sides of the petal will be the lighter lilac color?
Hi Rebecca, I would use the same color PanPastel and choose a lighter purple marker.
Wondering if you have tips for coloring the outside of the petals if we are using double sided light lilac DIY?
I would recommend using the same coloring technique. Use the white PanPastel but choose a lighter purple marker.
Hello Lia Griffith team. I just want to ask, this was promoted as a free video for non members (yet) right? Will it expire? Coz I can’t access the video for now. Do I need to be a member to watch the Spring Garden videos?
Hello April. We are offering the live event to non-members (which is noon PT every Friday). The replay, cutting machine file, and photo tutorials are available for all members with no time limits. Hope you can join us! 🙂
I asked about what I could combine with the extra fine crepe Lilac to make the double sided crepe paper but I don’t see it listed on the comments
Yes! We added the link for the video in the post above, but here is a direct link for you. liagriffith.com/tips-tricks-for-lamination-and-diy-double-sided-crepe-paper/
PLEASE help me access the tutorial to make the tulips! I AM a member, but I cannot figure out how to make the video play!
WHY is this so difficult? I paid for my annual membership today.
Hello Judith, and welcome! Maybe refresh the page and confirm that you are signed in. You can watch the video here or over in the Craft Academy. Let me know if you are still having trouble but I think that might work.
Hello, I just joined the membership and am starting on the tulip. I noticed the instruction sheet does not include the leaves? Also how long with the video be up?
Thanks.
I see that Meagan just wrote about the leaves in the last image. Maybe we can add a photo. You will have access to the videos as long as you are in the community.
Absolutely gorgeous coloring. Thank you!
You are so welcome!!
Thank you for another awesome video. You ladies are so talented!
We are so happy you joined us!
Hi Im watching the tulip live. Are there no chats this time? So it really makes no difference if its watched live or not?
There was a busy chat, yes. You can click the comment icon above the video.
Oh thank you. I’ll try to figure it out next week!
Isn’t the dip-in-glue method of creating the wet wire before adding to the petal easier than regluing the top side?
It is my favorite, but Meagan prefers this version. Your call. 🙂
y a t il un moyen pour traduire votre vidéo en Français,?
Not yet. We are working on adding that feature.
Do you have an idea when the double side lilac crepe paper will be available?
It ships from Germany, so it will be a bit. However, you can use the extra-fine crepe and make a DIY double-sided version that works beautifully. Here is a link to a video that shows you how to do this. https://liagriffith.com/tips-tricks-for-lamination-and-diy-double-sided-crepe-paper/
Hi,
Is it possible to ungroup the SVG file in Cricut design space, so that I can make mare than one at the time?
Best regards
Lotte
Yes, they should be set up to ungroup in Design Space.
Lia, can I use pan pastels instead of markers? If not, do you recommend alcohol based markers only?
Absolutely! This tulip is an older project we made before we found PanPastel. 😉
Hi! What is the exact shade of pink marker used here?
Hi Shivangi,
We used a Copic art marker in Light Peach (R22)
Is there an SVG of this template?
Hi Sara,
We have added the SVG file to the post.
Thank you so much!
Love your flowers! The template seems to be missing some of the pieces shown in the directions. I cannot find the pieces shown in the instructions above. Is there another template somewhere? Thanks!
Hi Julie– what pieces seem to be missing? The template includes the 2 pieces for the center & stamen, petals, and 2 leaves.
I have just found your website! Your flowers are beautiful and so realistic! I’ve just ordered some crepe paper from Amazon to try and start making the beautiful blooms. Wish me luck!
Best wishes from the UK.
Yay! Welcome Diane!! 🙂
Hi Lia just wondering about the shade of yellow marker that you used?
It’s Copic Y15, Cadmium Yellow 🙂
I could not get the effects shown with a pink marker.
Follow the tutorial steps closely, use scrap pieces of crepe paper, and keep practicing!
These are really lovely Lia– the hits just keep on coming!!?
Susan
Thank you for your support Susan, it always means a lot to me!
Really lovely.. I’ll try to do it..:-)
Regards frm Italy
Terry
Yes you should! 🙂
I’ve been looked by for something tone passionate about… I remember making tissue paper flowers as a child. I want to turn this cray into a business. Next few months I’m going to make and perfect this beautiful art. Thank you for giving me something to be inspired and excited about!! My only question is, how do you know what weight the crepe’ paper should be for your flowers? Do you have a list with these suggestions??
Oh Melony, this makes my heart so happy! I hope you enjoy getting back into flower making and crafting. Each flower tutorial and pattern lists the materials used including the type of crepe paper 🙂
can crepe paper be cut on the cricut?
We haven’t successfully cut crepe on the Cricut 🙁
I’ve had great results with the rotary blade. Make sure the paper is secured well to the mat – use blue tape, if your mat is older and less sticky.
Yes! Always a good idea if it is not a new mat.
I have mixed results with the Cricut. Do you use a different cutting machine?
We use the Cricut, but we use different settings. The crepe paper setting is only for the extra fine, and the double-sided works well with a fabric setting. Here is a cheat sheet we made. https://liagriffith.com/cricut-cutting-chart/
Let me know if that helps.
Love these thank you
You’re so welcome 🙂
Beautiful tulips. All your flowers are amazing.
Thank you Salley!
just wondering which shade of pink copic marker this is? thank you! so beautiful ♥
It’s Pink, RV11 🙂
Just what I need….a new hobby!!! …tulips are my favorite….now to find more time…….
🙂
I love your flowers…so beautiful…so life like! I’m just starting to make crepe paper flowers- #crepepaperrevival! The template that comes up with the new tulips doesn’t have the shapes shown in the visual directions. It is the template for the original tulips. Is there a way to get the new shapes? Thanks for your help!! Thanks for making beautiful things!!
Thanks for catching that Debbie! The correct template is available to download now 🙂
Thank you!!
Tulips are my favorite! Thank you for this!
You’re so welcome!
