Crepe Paper Wildflower Wreath
Where the Wildflowers Are
This crepe paper wildflower is one of those whimsical designs that came to life in the middle of the crafting process, and we totally fell in love. It is so simple and fabulous for a little dose of pretty. We also love any chance to design flowers using the double sided crepe because it creates gorgeous visual depth. If you are just now venturing into the world of crepe crafting, this is a perfect first project! Make an adorable bouquet of paper wildflower blooms, or make a set of mini wreaths that you can hang around your home.

Tools & Materials
Steps
- Gather the tools and materials listed above.
- Print PDF template below and cut crepe paper according to pattern. Next, trim three 3.5-inch pieces of floral wire.
- Gently stretch the centers of the petals.
- Fold stamens in half and attach to floral wire by wrapping with floral tape.
- Glue overlapping petals around the stamen centers and secure with floral tape.
- Create wreath form by bending a piece of wire in a 4.5-inch diameter circle. Cover wire by wrapping in floral tape.
- Twist each flower stem around wreath form, cover with floral tape and continue wrapping tape around the wreath. Cut and glue leaves of varying sizes around the wreath, covering glued ends with floral tape if needed.
Tips
This is a fantastic flower for beginners wanting to try out paper flower making for the first time! For guidance on cutting and stretching crepe, we highly recommend watching our Crepe Paper 101 video for tips. When you download the template, you will see that there is only a pattern for the petals. But don’t worry, this is also the template for the leaves! They just happen to be the same shape. You are also welcome to free-hand your leaves to create different sizes. As we like to say, DIY wreaths are the ultimate personalization projects because you can create any type of arrangement you want. We wanted to create a delicate little wreath that we could pair with our paper mache animal heads, but you can easily craft a larger statement piece by making the base of the wreath out of paper covered wire.

Back to the TopMe gustaria que tu pagina también fuera en español latino tus maravillosos trabajos son necesarios darlos a conocer en toda latinoamerica . felicitaciones muy bellos tus trabajos y tu canal. Besos y abrazos desde Colombia-
Thank you 🙂
Tried printing out the pattern and stopped counting the paper it was using at over 26 pages. Stopped the printing. I don’t know how much of my paper it would have used if not shut down. Something is wrong. Paper costs me enough already without this problem.
Love, love your site but you still have some hiccups to fix.
Oh no! You must have accidentally printed the web site, and not the 1-page download. We haven’t received any complaints about this project not printing properly and the files look just fine on our end. Make sure you download the PDF to your desktop (not just in the web browser), then open it separately and print from there.
Lia…I think these directions for these flowers are incorrect, they appear to be for some kind of an animal
project……Thank you…Trish
Sorry about that! It’s fixed now 🙂
Lia, love the wreath, but some editing issues…either I am having a senior moment or instructions in tutorial are for a different project. Also selecting stamens takes you to cake making stamens.
I need to figure out how to send you pics of some of my flower projects as I usually have a somewhat different take on things. I love, love, love your flowers! Thanks so much
Haha sorry about that, our mistake! The correct tutorial has been uploaded 🙂
