crepe paper bird of paradise

I am loving the bright, vibrant colors that Meagan used for our heavy crepe paper bird of paradise. For an extra pop of color, she also added two different shades of PanPastel to the sheathing. Along with teaching you how to make this stunning flower, we will show you how to make the tropical leaves that go with it as well.

Altogether this arrangement is a great way to enjoy some tropical decor inside your home and create a space that feels like your own personal paradise. The shapes of our heavy crepe paper bird of paradise are also simple enough to cut by hand if you do not have a cutting machine. Plus there aren’t very many pieces needed for this flower. 

If you have not joined us for Member Make before, be sure to read our instructions below on how to participate!

Crafting tips: You can change up the color of the stamen if you want something other than teal or coral. For example, you could use purple or a brighter pink. Also, we would not recommend using hot glue for this flower except where indicated for one piece because you would see where the glue was used for some seams.
