We’re excited to announce our first-ever hyacinth on the site today! Isn’t it so pretty? Normally we like to make the same flowers over and over again because we always discover a new way to craft it or we figure out how to make it even better. Also practicing with the same type of flower is how you improve your crafting skills! But every now and then we like to try out a brand-new flower. And today our new flower is this frosted paper hyacinth, beautifully crafted by our designer Krista and ready for you to make at home!
Hiya, Hyacinth!
It’s so much fun making a flower for the first time! This frosted paper hyacinth is an intermediate DIY project (mostly because it’s a bit time-consuming to make all of the flowers.) So if you’re new to making paper flowers, you might want to start with something a little simpler, like this frosted paper cosmos.
We also recommend using your cutting machine for this one since there are so many flowers to cut. But if you don’t have a cutting machine, you can cut these by hand using our PDF template. Once you have all of your tools and materials ready to go, just download our tutorial below.
These frosted paper hyacinths are a great way to bring some spring color into your home. You can pot them like we did, keep them loose in a vase, or create an arrangement with some other paper flowers. However you style your hyacinths, we’d love to see your version of them! Make sure to share your pictures with us and the rest of our craft community by posting on Instagram with the hashtag #MadeWithLia or on our Facebook page for members.

(continued from the previous comment that managed to submit itself as I flipped back to SS to reference the numbers). I suppose I’ll just have a jumbo stem of hyacinth this first go-around! Is there a way to include the measurements, or a “this square should be 1 in.” in the copyright/info layer as part of the .svg files so we can resize them appropriately in case Design Space or Silhouette Studio interpret them oddly?
And a big thank you to all of the LG team for allowing me to continue “gardening” through the cold and dark winters with these lovely creations!
I think that is a GREAT idea!! Okay, for future SVGs we will add the 1-inch square. We have a lot of SVG files so going back and adding that to all of them will take some time.
Hi Lia! I’m working on these hyacinth and dreaming of spring… I have the Business Edition of Silhouette Studio and opened the .svg file directly with the program. The pattern in the .svg is 1.3x as big as it is in the PDF (the big leaf in the .svg is 5.5″ tall and the one in the template is 4.25″ tall)
Sometimes the software will resize even though we make sure they are the same in our files. I suggest you just resize to match the PDF. 🙂
Hi Lia,
How many flowers are on the large “stalk” of the hyacinth? I love your tutorials and patterns. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Hi! Step 2 in the instructions lists out number of flowers for the 2 stalk sizes 🙂
I just want to reach out and touch these flowers to see if they are real!
I know! Krista really outdid herself with this one (I think I say that for every one of her projects 🙂 )
Hey Lia!Is it possible to make these flowers from crepe paper?Thanks!Greetings from Romania!
Hi Alexandra,
This pattern is made specifically for paper and would not work with crepe paper, however we are making a hyacinth in crepe paper this spring!
Is there another color option in Copic rather then the Brick brand? I’ll take any other brand that you recommend that is similar in color.
Thanks
Jill
Hi Jill! Sorry, I can’t say for sure what a matching color in a different brand would be. Perhaps Smoky Blue or Powder Blue from Copic? You can browse all their colors here: https://www.dickblick.com/products/copic-original-markers/
Greetings from Sunny Malta. These look Fab Lia. I cannot wait to try them out!
I am so excited that I have come across your web page, and to try so many flowers.
As soon as I have made some i will definitely send pictures.
Welcome, Angela! Yes please send photos, we love seeing what our members create 🙂
