Happy St. Patrick’s Day Monday everyone! Did anyone else enjoy the spring sunshine this weekend? Today I am going to share the pink and yellow watercolor lily template. I originally made this a few years ago, but was saving it to post for the Easter season. This is one of the few paper flowers I make with a card stock. I now have a paper lily flower tutorial in crepe paper, a potted lily of the valley and a crepe paper calla lily tutorial.

Paper Easter Lily Tutorial

Since the petals are large and few, the extra thickness works well with this paper flower. The template below includes both a front and back print of the flower, so you will see color on both sides. Just follow my step-by-step tutorial and you will find yourself with a pretty spring lily to use for a gift topper, to decorate your Easter table, or to enjoy at your office.

Share The Love

We would love to see our paper flower designs out there in the world. If you are inspired to make any of our paper flower crafts, or you are making your own DIY wedding flowers, you can share your pics with us over on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag #MadeWithLia. See you there! ~ Lia

Is there an SVG file for this? I’m dying to make an entire bouquet of these, but they are a bit labor intensive to hand cut.

Hello!
I just love your flowers, and with my ùCricut explore it’s so easy to cut them out! I’ve made your hydrangeas and roses so far.
Do you by any chance sell a cut file for calla lilies? if so, where could I buy it?
Thank you so much for sharing your creativity!!

Thank you for making these, and all your paper crafts. You have inspired me to try new things, and as a retired/disabled RN, given me things to do with my brain and hands again. Thank you with all my heart and brain.

Hi, there! I am a school teacher. Lia, thank you very much for your paper flowers, I have used them as decoration on most of our school programs. I just wish to ask if there is a lily template in black and white, so can print it out in colored papers.

  I love to hear that you are using paper flowers in your classroom!!!! I don’t have the outline of the lily template in black and white but will be sure to add one soon since it is one of my favorite flowers for spring:)

I’m amazed every time I see a new flower from you. It is beautiful! Lilies are one of my favorite flowers but the smell of them has been bothering me lately as my allergies are intensifying with age. These would be perfect for me!

  This will be perfect. Yes, lilies do have an interesting smell. Let me know how yours turn out. 🙂
