Frosted Paper Forget-me-nots

This flower has been requested quite a few times. So we’re excited to finally show you how to make it! Designed by Meagan, these frosted paper forget-me-nots are a great filler flower for bouquets. Or you can always pop a couple of stems into a small vase.

An unforgettable DIY craft

Though we have made these tiny blooms out of felt for a head wreath, this is our first paper version with an actual stem. Because the pieces are so tiny and there are a lot of flowers to assemble, we recommend using a cutting machine for these frosted paper forget-me-nots. Otherwise, you can always cut them by hand using detail scissors.

Since we are loving the lilac color for spring this year, Meagan chose to make these frosted paper forget-me-nots using a light purple shade from our Berry pack. If you prefer to make your flowers a more true blue, you could always use white paper instead and color your petals. Or do a mix of blue, purple, and white!

Skill level: Advanced due to working with very small pieces

Crafting Tips: The needle nose tweezers will be necessary to handle and place the small pieces of the flowers especially when gluing onto the wire. When using the steel ball shaping tools with paper or cardstock alway using a soft surface that has some give. I like to use a folded up piece of scrap felt, an ironing board also works great.
