Similar to daisies, aster flowers have long, narrow, and pointed petals. But unlike the daisies we have made, these paper asters have even thinner petals.

We will show you how to make these flowers step by step in our tutorial, which you can find at the end of this post. Also, make sure to check out our tips below before getting started!

Asteriffic Flowers

These dainty flowers are so cute and cheerful. To make our potted paper asters look more realistic, Meagan included tiny buds in her arrangement that look like they are on the verge of blooming. Using frosted paper also gives them a bit more depth as well as a more structural look. While we made our paper asters using a white shade from our Succulent pack, you could also use one of the purples from our Berry pack.

We hope you enjoy these new flowers and share your versions with us by tagging #MadeWithLia!

Crafting tips: Because the pieces are so small and delicate for this flower pattern, we recommend using a cutting machine. Before cutting a whole sheet of paper, make sure to test cut the detailed pieces on your cutting machine to get the perfect setting. If you don’t have a cutting machine, you can always use detailed scissors to cut out our PDF pattern.

Also, if you’re a beginner, you may want to focus on flowers with bigger petals (or try a daisy!) since working with tiny pieces can be tricky at first. Alternatively, you could also resize this aster pattern to be larger.

I did use the pearl paper setting and tried some cuts with more pressure and some with default. It was the same result for both the stamen and flower petals. The leaves cut out just fine with no issues.

I hope this posts with my previous post. Every time I hit reply, the screen jumps to another section with no clear window to add comments to.

  I just asked Meagan and she suggested to use a fresh mat and blade. It is unfortunate that frosted is tricky to cut as it is such a lovely material.

  Also, you can use any white paper, even cardstock for these flowers.

The flowers and stamen got all chewed up while being cut. I cleaned the mat, cleaned the bladed, watched how to cut frosted paper in the mini cricut course and I am not able to get clean cut flowers or stamen. I cut the stamens out and fringed them by hand. What else could I check or do to help ensure the flowers get cut and not ripped and chewed. My mat is still sticky, the designs are not sliding off and then getting chewed up.

  Sometimes it seems the Cricut has a mind of its own. It is frustrating. Did you use the Pearl paper setting?

Afternoon Lia, I get the same issue as your previous correspondent – I cannot upload the SVG file only the PDF template works. Can you please investigate and advise.
Thank you,
Leanna

Please check this SVG file. It has an error when I upload it and it only uploads the flower, none of the other components of this aster.

Thank You

  I double-checked the file and I don’t see anything missing. Maybe try deleting the file, then downloading again?
