My Top 10 Paper Spring Flowers
Spring flowers year round
Spring is our favorite season to craft for. The flowers that bloom from late February through April have a particular kind of magic. Soft colors, delicate petals, branches bursting with life after a long winter. And crepe paper captures all of it beautifully.
We have been designing and teaching spring paper flowers for more than a decade, and this collection represents our absolute favorites. From the first flush of forsythia to the sweet fragrance of lilac, these are the blooms we return to every year and the ones our community loves most. Each one has a full tutorial, and many have step-by-step video workshops so you can craft along at your own pace.

FLOWER 1 — QUINCE

Crepe Paper Quince Branch
The flowering quince is one of the earliest bloomers of the season, and one of the most beautiful to recreate in paper. Our Crepe Paper Quince Branch workshop includes a free downloadable pattern and a full video tutorial—and it has been one of our community's most-loved projects since we first introduced it in our original master class six years ago. Those clusters of blossoms on bare branches are simply irresistible.
FLOWER 2 — FORSYTHIA

Crepe Paper Forsythia Branch
Nothing announces spring quite like forsythia. Those bright yellow branches that burst into bloom before a single leaf appears. Our Crepe Paper Forsythia Branch captures that same cheerful energy and looks stunning arranged in a tall vase or woven into a spring centerpiece. It is also part of our Paper Flower Garden Master Class series, so you can follow along as a member with video guidance from start to finish.
FLOWER 3 — CHERRY BLOSSOM

Crepe Paper Cherry Blossom Branch
Cherry blossoms are one of the most beloved flowers in the world, celebrated for their fleeting beauty and soft, blush-pink petals. Our Beginner Crepe Paper Cherry Blossom Branches Video Workshop creates that full branching effect that makes these so beautiful for spring decor, weddings, and home styling. Simple enough for beginners, and a perfect project to make with a friend.
FLOWER 4 — DOGWOOD

Crepe Paper Dogwood Branch
Dogwood blooms have a quiet elegance that makes them one of the most requested spring projects in our community. Our Crepe Paper Dogwood Branche walks you through every step, including how to add that signature markings to the petal tips. This is a fun project for a new paper flower crafter.
FLOWER 5 — APPLE BLOSSOM

Crepe Paper Apple Blossom Branch
Apple blossoms bring that romantic, orchard-in-spring feeling that is impossible to resist. Delicate five-petal blooms in soft white and blush scatter along bare branches to create an arrangement that feels genuinely gathered from nature. Our Crepe Paper Apple Blossom Branch Video Workshop is beginner-friendly and comes with a full step-by-step video, making it a beautiful first branch project or a gorgeous addition to any spring arrangement alongside cherry blossoms or quince.
FLOWER 6 — CROCUS FLOWERS

Crepe Paper Crocus and Bulb
Crocuses are one of the very first signs that spring has arrived, pushing up through cold soil before almost anything else has stirred. Our Crepe Paper Crocus and Bulb Video Workshop takes this one step further by recreating the full bulb, roots and all, framed as a beautiful piece of art. It is one of the most unique projects in our spring collection. We also have a Crepe Paper Crocus tutorial and a Potted Crocus Plant if you prefer a more traditional display. And if you love bulb flowers, our Crepe Paper Dutch Iris is another spring favorite worth exploring.
FLOWER 7 — WISTERIA

Crepe Paper Wisteria
Few flowers have the romantic presence of wisteria, with those long, trailing clusters of blossoms in lilac, violet, and soft white. Our Crepe Paper Wisteria Member Make Video Workshop guides you through shaping each delicate petal and blending pastels for soft, natural shading. Whether you display it draped over a frame or arranged loosely in a vase, it is the kind of project that stops people in their tracks.
FLOWER 8 — DAFFODIL

Crepe Paper Daffodil
Daffodils are spring in a single stem. That bright yellow trumpet surrounded by soft petals is one of the most cheerful sights of the season, and our crepe paper version looks so real you will want to put it on your windowsill year-round. Our Crepe Paper Daffodil Video Workshop is a beautiful starting point, and for something a little more luxurious, our Crepe Paper Double Daffodils with their layered, ruffled centers are simply stunning.
FLOWER 9 — TULIP

Crepe Paper Tulip
Tulips are one of the happiest spring flowers — bold, simple, and endlessly satisfying to make. Our Crepe Paper Tulip Video Workshop is perfect for beginners and results in a beautiful stem with that softly cupped shape that looks so natural in a vase. If you want something with a little more drama, our Crepe Paper Parrot Tulips with their feathered, ruffled petals are among the most spectacular flowers in our entire collection.
FLOWER 10 — LILAC

Crepe Paper Lilac
Lilac saves the best for last. Those dense, fragrant clusters in soft purple and lavender are one of the most evocative flowers of late spring, and our Crepe Paper Lavender Lady Lilac Video Workshop captures every bit of that delicacy in paper. Each little floret comes together quickly, and the cumulative effect of a full branch is absolutely breathtaking. We also love our original Crepe Paper Lilac Flowers Member Make Workshop for a full step-by-step video experience.

Back to the TopI would love to see you start making paper purses. I like working with cardstock more.
I Love all your flowers.
Theses are stunning! excited about freesias!
Thank you!!
Each time I watch these nice paper flowers I wonder how and where do you keep them until you decorate them next time. Or don’t you store but give the flowers away and save only the jpg? I don’t think that you make new ones each time when you publish a message about your beautiful paper flowers.
We do save as many as we can so that we can reuse them for more photos. They are placed carefully into large boxes with tissue.
