Crepe Paper Jumbo Dahlia – Member Make Workshop
Dahlia Delight
Get ready for a project that's big, bold, and above all, fun! This month's Member Make Workshop celebrates the vibrant culture and dazzling colors of Latin America with a show-stopping Crepe Paper Jumbo Dahlia. With over 42 accepted species, the Dahlia gets a lot of love here at Lia Griffith. However, we couldn't think of a more fitting floral subject for this month's collection as we continue exploring the region's magic and beauty.

Join us on Friday, May 17 at Noon PT for our live video workshop where we'll answer your questions and offer some useful tips and tricks. Additionally, Member Make allows us to do what we absolutely love -- spend some time crafting with all of you! But If you can't make it to the live session, don't worry! The video will be available right here when you're ready to create your own Crepe Paper Jumbo Dahlia!
With their bold blooms and intricate layers, Dahlias have long been revered for their beauty. But there's more than meets the eye where these lovely flowers are concerned. The iconic Dahlia boasts a rich history and deep cultural significance in Latin America, particularly in Mexico. In fact, they were cultivated by the Aztecs centuries ago, valued for both their beauty and medicinal properties. Today, the Dahlia symbolizes strength, elegance, and unwavering creativity. So, as you craft, think of your Dahlia as a reminder to tap into your own creative fire and embrace your inner artist!
So, remember to mark your calendars, gather your supplies, and get ready to unleash your creativity with our May Member Make workshop: Crepe Paper Jumbo Dahlia. Together, we'll celebrate the beauty of Latin America and the timeless art of crafting -- one petal at a time. Also, be sure to share your creation with us in our crafters' community or on Instagram with the hashtag #MemberMake.

Leave a CommentThese turned out gorgeous!! …and I hope to see the zinnia as the next MM, but the dogwood is lovely too!
Yay! Happy you enjoyed. We will announce on Crafters community today!
Hello Lia,
Why is there no PDF template for jumbo dahlia? My iPhone will not let me download Zip.
Regards Janette
The PDF and tutorial are both in the zipped file. Here is the link for using zips with the iPhone. https://support.apple.com/en-us/102532
Zinnias
Thanks for the vote!
If you’re still taking votes, I loved both of them but it looks like the zinnia would be harder to make with just a photo tutorial. I love you guys!!!
Thanks, Charlene! Your vote is in!!
Wow these giant flowers look so cool! I just got all my supplies and would like to cut pattern on my Cricut, but it’s way too big. Has anyone divided up the mats so we don’t change the size? I’m using original Maker. I would like to get things ready. Thanks!
Hi Carmen. If you hide the designer notes layer, the template will fit. A note from Meagan, they are super easy and faster to cut by hand, but you can certainly use the Cricut. 😉
Thanks I’ll give it a try. They look great!
I am soooo excited for these. I’ve promised three so far. I’m glad I read the comments, just ordered more paper. I really can’t wait for member make. I may even take the day off to watch live.
We fixed the bundle to include three of the two brighter colors. 😉
I’m so excited to make this jumbo dahlia! I’m trying to use materials I already have in my stash… I have a lot of heavy crepe in Plum and Merlot/Bordeaux. I think the Plum might be the best choice between the two. What color pan pastel would you recommend if I use either of these colors?
I love darker dahlias! Perfect choice. Maybe make one of each. 😉 I would use a bright pink pastel to make the centers really pop. That with the bright green and darker petals. . . so pretty.
Hi Lia and team, will the member make bundle provide enough crepe paper to make all three dahlias? Thank you. Coleen Barnes
Yes! The two of the two fold packs (3-4 folds) of each color will make one giant flower. 🙂
Hi! The link for the Member Make bundle doesn’t seem to be working.
Thank you
Gina
I think it is fixed now. 🙂
Excited to make these. Have not make any large flowers before. Beautiful colors.Thanks.
I am too! We are definitely hanging these in our studio. 🙂
