VIDEO: Crepe Paper Marigold Flowers
These gorgeous Crepe Paper Marigold Flowers are the first project in our Autumn Colors Craft Summit. I love the sunset tones of this pretty flower and its many ties to fall. In addition to being the birth flower for October, marigolds are often used in Dia de Muertos celebrations to guide souls back to their loved ones. Also, their rich gold and yellow tones make them perfect for fall decorating.
Ready to get started? Gather all your tools and materials, then download our tutorial below. When you’re all set, you can catch this workshop live on October 16 at 12 p.m. PT. We recommend a cutting machine for this project due to all the small, detailed leaves. However, cutting them out by hand will work just as well.
This video is for members only.

A Mari-golden Opportunity
A Mari-golden OpportunityThe marigold is known for its strong fragrance, which is believed to ward off negativity and evil spirits. Their vibrant colors also represent the sun’s energy, signifying warmth, passion, and creativity! We think these crepe paper marigolds are perfect as stand-alone flowers. Place a few stems in a tall vase for a bold yet simple decorative accent.
For this project, we’re using a technique that’s new to us. To make coloring and adding details super quick and easy, we’re leaving the petals stuck to the cutting mat. If that sounds intimidating, please don’t worry. We’ll be there to walk you through it in our live video tutorial.
We’d love to see your finished crepe paper marigolds, so don’t forget to share them with us! Use the hashtag #MadeWithLia when posting on Instagram or upload your pictures to our crafters’ community.

Leave a CommentHello,
I would like to see a felt cardinal for winter.
Thank you, Shirley Anglin
Wonderful! Because one is on the schedule!
Hello!
Do you have any ideas on how to modify this to make the giant globe (African) marigolds instead of the flatter French ones? I love pom poms and the color orange, so I’m a huge fan of the big fluffy spherical marigolds.
Thank you!
Yes! You can make all the petals the same length to bring the centers up higher. Share pictures when you finish. That sounds gorgeous!!
Thank you very much! Pom poms, here I come!
Yay!
Question about coloring the petals. I assume we are only coloring one side of the petal. When attaching to the stem which side of the petal gets glued to the stem… the colored side?
That is correct. The marker actually bleeds through the other side a bit, but you can face the painted side upwards to it shows when the petals open.
I am trying to upload the SVG for the marigolds & I don’t seem to be able to do it. I am only able to download the Template & the Directions. Any idea as to why? I love these flowers.
Hi Mona. All of the files are in one folder so you should see the SVG there with the others. Here is a Skill Course for you that shows how to upload the SVGs that might help. https://liagriffith.com/craft-academy/a-crafters-guide-to-the-cricut-maker/
Regarding the leaf stability, I’ve become so attached to the Glitter Glue that I avoid using my glue gun if at all possible. I just tried running a line of Glitter Glue down each leaf instead of the glue gun and it turned out quite well! I love that as always, it dries clear. Something to try for you lovers of Glitter Glue 🙂
Yes!! Even better. You can line up all the leaves and do them at once then set them aside to dry. LOVE IT! 🙂
Hi Danita! Oh my goodness. Thank you sooooo much for this excellent tip. I LOVE it so much and it works perfectly. I’m just like you- I love my glitter glue over glue gun.
Hi Lia, excited to make the marigolds. In reference to the leaf instruction, should I glue 2 leaves together to give stability? or make double sided?
thank you
Michele
I just looked at the flowers again to confirm what Meagan did. She used one layer of extra-fine. However. . . she is going to teach us a brand new stability trick!!
Thank you for uploading
Do we need to sign up for this class?
You do not need to sign up for this! Just join us live at 12pm on October 16th 🙂
Good morning. When will the pdf template be available for download? Pressing the “tutorial and templates” download button reveals only the image of the partial first page of the tutorial. Thank you. Can’t wait! Have a great day!
Sorry about that Susan! This was our mistake and it has been updated 🙂
When I selected the Tutorial and Templates to download, I got a screenshot of one page of the tutorial. Please let me know when the templates are ready for download.
The files have been updated and are now available!
THANK YOU!

Sorry Lisa, this was a mistake on our end and the files have now been updated.
When I go to download the template it is pulling up the photo tutorial and nothing else.
The files have been fixed and updated! 🙂
I’m having trouble downloading the Marigold files. I’m logged in, press download and it says to log in. I logged out, logged back in and the download link says the same thing. What’s up?
Hi Marion, we have since fixed this download. If you are still having the same technical issue could you please email hello@liagriffith.com so we can better assist you.
Thank you for a beautiful fall flower. I tried downloading the tutorial and templates using the download button above but the only file I am seeing is a jpeg of the first page of the tutorial, with no other files downloaded. Are they missing or am I doing something wrong on my end?
