Crepe Paper Stephanotis – Member Make Workshop
Petals with Personality
We have given our stephanotis a beautiful update! Our first stephanotis was made in 2016 and although it is gorgeous we think this new version better emulates the real thing. We have wrapped this climbing flower around a grape vine wreath and displayed it in a pot.
This video is for members only.

I’m always excited to unveil our monthly Member Make Workshops, but this one is particularly close to my heart. Surprisingly, we’ve only crafted the lovely stephanotis once before, but I felt it was time to up the wow factor on these beautiful, oft-forgotten flowers. This Crepe Paper Stephanotis will make a one-of-a-kind addition to your holiday home decor, and we just know you’re going to love it!
If you look to your right, then you’ll see the list of tools and materials you need to begin crafting this beautiful piece. Our Crepe Paper Stephanotis is an advanced project tailored for our more experienced crafters, we nevertheless encourage all our members to join us live on Friday, December 15th at 12 p.m. PST. However, If you miss us, don’t worry; we’ll post the video here! Ready to get started? Then scroll below.
Stephanotis flowers, also known as Madagascar Jasmine, are so special to me. Fragile and sweet-scented, these little floral gems exude vintage charm reminiscent of a bygone era. I’ve always cherished these sweet flowers because my mother carried them in her bridal bouquet. In fact, in the language of flowers, Stephanotis symbolizes marital happiness and emotional purity — a true celebration of love that’s absolutely perfect for this time of year.
Much like the delicate nature of winter blooms, these Crepe Paper Stephanotis flowers require precision and artistry. Our workshop will guide you through crafting lifelike petals and using colored pencils to add subtle color nuances. Of course, if you’re new to some of these techniques, that’s okay! We’re here to walk you through it step-by-step.
We added a 6″ grapevine wreath to this project for a unique holiday spin. The result? A bold, modern centerpiece that will certainly steal the show this season! Place your Crepe Paper Stephanotis on your mantle, in your window, or at the center of your holiday table and wait for the forthcoming oohs and ahs!
We can’t wait to see how you’ve styled this stunning showstopper! So remember to share your holiday creation in our crafters’ community or on Instagram using the hashtag #MemberMake.

Leave a CommentLove to make I adore Stephanotis but where do I find the template?
There is a download folder in the right hand column at the top when you are signed in. Everything for this project will be right there for you. 🙂
I’m wondering about the leaves. It doesn’t look as if your leaves have the “green tea” on the backside? My leaves are very obvious with the color variation.
We did both versions, the green tea was the one already made before the video. Use up what you have on hand, it will be gorgeous!!
Loved this flower! Fun and easy to make and looks so impressive! Thank you again for your fantastic instruction.
So happy to hear!
Rose hips rose hips rose hips! 🙂
They are gorgeous!!
Hello Lia, first Happy Holidays to you, your family and your awesome team. I’m looking forward for this months Members Make. I have already cut out the little Gems for my sister’s Holiday Brunch Center Piece (the 25th) with family and friends. See you and Megan Friday. I’m in Arizona, are you one hour ahead or behind. I lived here all my life and I still get confused. Lol. See you all then. Tim
Hello Tim and happy holidays to you as well! We missed you. It looks like you are one hour ahead of us right now. I think it changes because Arizona doesn’t chance back like the rest of the US. See you on Friday!!
I’m ready for today, thanks again, Tim
See you there!
I am unable to unzip this svg file. What am I doing wrong?
It is hard to know, but here is a video where I am snowing an unzip process. Let me know if that helps. https://liagriffith.com/craft-academy/a-crafters-guide-to-the-cricut-maker/lessons/1-lia-griffith-files-for-the-cricut/
If not, I can try to help you troubleshoot further.
Hello; I am a new member. I am confused about when the online Member Make occurs. The opening page said Dec 15 Pacific Time. When I open the tab, it shows Dec 1 along after the title.
Is it that we can watch it live for a chance to participate with questions, or watch it anytime after Dec 15th? What is the Dec. 1st indicating?
Could you make this easier to understand? Thank you from a Newbie….
Welcome, Marilee! We publish the project post for you at the first of the month which will give you time to gather your materials and even cut your crepe. The LIVE event is on the 15th this month at noon PT. There you can ask your questions and interact with other makers in the chat. If you are not able to watch it live, there will be a replay option and I will answer any additional questions. Hope that helps! 🙂
