Frosted Paper Anemones for Fall
It always brings me great joy to take a flower I have made before and tweak the design, try a new technique, or make it in a different way. Looking back, the last anemones I made were for this wreath a couple of years ago. So for our October collection, I have designed some new frosted paper fall anemones that are simple to make.
Because of the intricate centers and leaf shapes, it will be much easier to use a cutting machine for this project if you have one. But you can always cut these flowers by hand with our PDF template.

Fall Flower Fun
These frosted paper fall anemones are so fun to make and a great flower for beginners, too. After gluing the cotton spun paper balls on and shaping your paper pieces, all you have to do is slide them up the wire and secure each piece with glue. Easy peasy!
To give my anemones more of a fall vibe, I chose three colors of frosted paper from our stone fruit pack in the shop. This paper pack along with our berry pack includes shades of red and purple that work so well for fall flowers. And even though I am calling them out as fall anemones, I think they would be really pretty to keep out for winter, too. Especially if you add the metallic accents like I did to the center of the flowers.
When you’re done making your flowers, don’t forget to post them to our Facebook page for members! Or you can always tag your photos on Instagram with #MadeWithLia so I can spot them.

Leave a CommentGood afternoon, I’m a member and trying to download a project from the September collection but it’s saying need to use one of my downloads. I thought the monthly collections were free?
Hello Diana! Your monthly membership includes the current collection of 16 plus the additional 5 downloads. Hope that makes sense. 🙂
thank you
I’m getting ready to do this project but I can’t find the dark/ black frosted paper for the center(?) what color did you use? did you just color it? or use a black cardstock?
Thanks.
The black frosted paper is discontinued so you can use a black marker and cut from any of the papers from the pack. I would not suggest card stock as it will be too stiff for this delicate center.
Hi! New to your membership and need a lil help please. I am trying to cut the Anemone on your frosted paper on my Cricut maker. It keeps chewing up the paper on the multiple settings I have tried.. Mostly when cutting the fussy flower centers. What setting do you recommend on the Maker for smooth cutting of the frosted paper? I am using the light grip mat and making sure it is stuck down well. Thanks!
Hi Jan! Have you seen our mini course on this? We go over frosted paper and tips for cutting with your Cricut: https://liagriffith.com/craft-academy/cutting-frosted-paper-with-cricut/. If you still have questions after watching, let me know.
I do not see where to download the tutorial for members. Please advise.
Thank you!
Hi Jenny! All of our downloads are always at the bottom of each post, right above the comment section. You’ll see 4 gray bars: SVG cut files, PDF template, PDF instructions, and photo tutorial. Just click to download!
Fall is my favorite time of year. These are so pretty. Thanks
How did you cut the center pieces? I can’t seem to find the right setting for my Cricut, tears them up.
thanks in advance for any advice you can give me,
Cheryl
We use the standard mat with a fine point blade, set on the Copy Paper +more setting or on the light card stock setting. It is important to have a nice sharp blade and not over cut. A new clean mat is also recommended as anything left on your mat can make the paper tear also. In order to figure out the best setting for your machine, we recommend doing a test cut, a circle or star shape is the best, before starting.
