Spring Beauties that Last All Year Round

We love doing collaborations with Good Housekeeping. Our previous projects with them have included our felt fox cup cozy and felt pinecone bear kid’s craft, and now we are crafting up a lovely bouquet of crepe paper cosmos flowers for spring. You may remember that we shared the cosmos in a winter color palette for our heart shaped wreath, but we have discovered that these flowers are even more gorgeous using the double sided paper with beautiful shades of pink. Find our video tutorial below, or read the article on Good Housekeeping’s website! These crepe paper flowers are stunning for the warmer months, and they will last all year long.

Tips

For beginner crepe crafters, we always encourage you to watch our Crepe Paper 101 video to learn our special tricks for cutting and stretching the paper. You can use the colors that we selected to make these flowers (links in Shop this Project at the bottom of the post), or you can browse all of our color options in our crepe shop. If you are looking for recommendations on art markers, we always tend to use Copic brand or Winsor & Newton.
