This Beginner Crepe Paper Tulip combines cardstock for the centers of the flowers with heavy crepe paper for the petals and leaves, making it perfect for the newbie crafter. While I chose heavy crepe paper for this project, feel free to experiment with any weight and type, including double-sided crepe paper. Additionally, this is a fantastic project for learning how to add wire to petals and leaves in your paper flowers.

One of the best things about crafting with crepe paper is its flexibility and texture, allowing you to shape the petals just as nature intended. The secret to a soft, natural curve in your flowers is to keep the grain of the crepe paper running vertically along the petals and leaves. Plus, adding a bit of PanPastel to the petals really enhances the overall look of your finished project.

For these Beginner Crepe Paper Tulips, I chose colors that reflect the warmth and light of the season. However, feel free to choose any colors that resonate with you. Tulips come in nearly every color of the rainbow (even black!), so you have the freedom to dream big.

When your Beginner Crepe Paper Tulips are ready, proudly display them as a symbol of your creative growth and artistic spirit! For instance, you can place them in a beautiful vase, or incorporate them into a larger spring arrangement. But, no matter how you flaunt them, be sure to share your creations with us on Instagram using #MadeWithLia or in our crafting community!
