These frosted paper celestial lily flowers fit in perfectly with our theme for this month’s craft collection. While the real flower pops up during spring, you can sometimes still find them in summer. But of course we’re making them out of paper so you can enjoy them anytime!
Starburst Blooms
These flowers got their name because of their showy petals that shine like six-pointed stars. You might also know this flower as the prairie iris, prairie pleatleaf, or prairie celestial. While this wildflower only lasts for one day, we’re going to show you how to make them out of paper so you can keep them around forever.
To give our celestial lilies a little bit of shimmer, I used a few different colors from our frosted paper packs. The first color in our Berry pack is perfect for these lavender-blue blooms. And I added extra detail to our frosted paper celestial lily flowers by coloring the petals with two different purple markers. Along with the flower pattern, you will find the pattern to make the blades of grass.
If you are going to cut by hand, I recommend using detail scissors. Otherwise, you can use either a Cricut or Silhouette with our SVG file to cut your frosted paper celestial lily. When you’re done making your flowers, you can place them in a small vase, or tie a ribbon on them and gift them to a friend.

I see it now, thank you.
Good morning. On the 2nd page of the pdf template there are two long pieces next to the grass that I don’t know where they belong or what color they are. They are not shown in the tutorial. Also, buds are mentioned but I see no instructions for them. Can you please help me?
Those are actually the buds. They just glue at the end of the grass. 🙂
