I amaryllis brilliant crafter
Did you know it takes up to six years for amaryllis to reach maturity and produce flowers? While you could always buy one, we think it’s a lot more fun to make your own version and enjoy it anytime you want to! You can also make them in different colors and create versions you might not see in nature or find at the store.
Today’s crepe paper waxed amaryllis is a great intermediate craft project. So if you’re looking for more of a beginner flower, you can try out our simple crepe paper amaryllis instead. Both flowers are gorgeous for the holiday season and can be given as gifts.
If you have not participated in Member Make before, all the details you need are below. Otherwise, you can skip on down the post to download our amaryllis flower pattern and start crafting!

Do you dip the flowers in wax at the end?
Not the flowers. You can watch the video to see all of the steps.
What is the size of the bulb? What is the bulb detail used for? I keep missing it on the video? Thanks!
The finished bulb is about 2.25 wide and 3 inches tall. This a method that is used with real amaryllis flowers where they wax the bulb and allow the flower to bloom outside of the pot. You can also make a potted version without the bulb.
