Frosted Paper Plumeria

Plumerias are pretty, little tropical flowers native to Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean. You will also find them in Hawaii. So if you want to enjoy these vibrant blooms in your home, we suggest making them out of paper! Our designer Meagan made these paper plumerias using text weight frosted paper in white and then coloring the petals with PanPastel pigments. If you are new to using PanPastel on your paper flowers, this video may help.
To make these paper plumerias on your own, just use our flower pattern and tutorial below. We have linked the materials we used below as well, but you can always experiment with different types of paper and various colors. For example, you could try making a crepe paper plumeria instead! Or, we also have a felt version of this flower.

Plumeria Perfection
One idea for what you can do with your paper plumerias is to add them to a tropical wreath. Because our tropical wreath features such large and dramatic leaves, we like the juxtaposition of using smaller blooms.
You could also use your plumerias to make paper leis for a tropical party. Or, tuck one behind your ear with a bobby pin. If you’re using them for a tropical party or summer get-together, you could also use your paper plumerias as pretty table decor. Just scatter them across your table or add one on top of each plate for your guest to keep.
Once you craft your paper plumerias, show us how you’re decorating with them! We love seeing your creations on Instagram and Facebook, and we like to share them too. Just remember to tag #MadeWithLia. Happy crafting! ~ Lia and team
