Potted Crepe Paper Amaryllis
Petal PerfectionÂ
Nature can certainly act as a bold inspiration around this time of year. Owing to its stark whites, deep greens, and cardinal reds — winter gives us a beautiful palette of colors to work with as we craft with the holidays in mind. This Crepe Paper Amaryllis Plant is a cheerful reminder that winter can be just as beautiful as her sister seasons! Amaryllis flowers, with their striking blooms, have long been a symbol of the holiday season. They add a touch of sophistication to any setting and make beautiful gifts.Â

This lovely potted crepe paper amaryllis is an intermediate-level craft, but would also be great project for a beginner looking for a challenge. Before you begin, be sure to gather your materials and tools for a seamless crafting experience.
With this month’s collection, we really wanted to shine a bright light on the natural beauty of winter. The plants, the animals, the beautiful colors — we wanted to celebrate it all! Due to its clear association with the holiday season, we chose the bright red amaryllis variety for this project. But, this pretty flower also comes in equally lovely shades ranging from white to deep burgundy.
Aside from its vivid color, the real charm of this pretty flower project ultimately lies in its realistic look. With its detailed stamen and gently curling petals, this amaryllis looks as fresh as one plucked from your garden. Just as the real amaryllis petals arch outwards with elegance and beauty, your crepe paper petals can achieve a similar look with gentle manipulation. It’s all about adding a just a little bit of magic.
These amaryllises would undoubtedly look beautiful as a bright seasonal arrangement in a vase or as added flair to a wreath or a gift. However, for our crepe paper amaryllis flowers, we chose to style them in a pot as a bold decorative statement.

Where is the photo tutorial?
You can find it in the same download as the templates.
The SVG file and the pdf file show a pointed leave pattern. The picture of the amaryllis shows a rounded end on the leaf?? Thanks for this beautiful creation.
Hi Rebecca! I did update the file for that. The file will have the number 3 at the end. If you hit refresh you should see it. Or, you can just trim off the point. 😉
Hi Team Lia, the SVG still has the pointed leaves. There also seem to be more bud leaves than one needs.
It should be updated now. If you have already cut, just trim the tips to create an arch.
Is there a video that is with the Amaryllis? I feel I do better job when I follow along with you.
We do not have a video for this flower, but it seems to be so popular that it might be a possibility in the future! 🙂
vanaf vandaag lid geworden ik hoop dat ik heel mooie crepebloemen zal kunnen maken
Welcome! We do have so much fun making all of the flowers.
Hi team Lia,
Beautiful flower, but noticed the leaf shape in the SVG file is a totally different shape than what is pictured above.
You are right! I did end up rounding off the tips of those leaves with scissors, then missed updating the template. I will make that correction right now.
I’m having difficulty with the bud. Mine came out more pointy than the one in the pic and tutorial. Was the tip twisted after glueing the pieces together?
Yes, you can twist it lightly. You can also try using a larger spun ball and stretch the center a bit more. That might give you a more full bud.
Hello. Wow! This is gorgeous!! Can you please add this to the list of licensed flower patterns? Thank you.
Sure thing!
Thank you so much!
