VIDEO: Frosted Paper Hellebore
I fell in love with the dainty Hellebore flower when I was traveling in Germany and Denmark last January for Christmas World. They seemed to be everywhere, blooming in the outdoor pots and peeking through the fresh dusting of snow. I think these flowers are a great option for Christmas (they’re known as the Christmas Rose, after all!) and can be used through Valentine’s Day as well. Watch my video tutorial below to see how I make these pretty frosted paper Hellebore flowers.

Have a Hellebore Holiday
If you’re looking for seasonal flowers to craft, these frosted paper Hellebore flowers are the perfect DIY project to make now and enjoy throughout winter. We also have a crepe paper Hellebores. Or you could try making our Christmas cactus or our pink poinsettias.
For this project, I used frosted paper to give my Hellebore flowers a little bit of shine. I also used Copic Sketch markers and PanPastel pigments to add more detail and dimension to my flowers. My quick video tutorial below shows you how I color my frosted paper Hellebore as well as how I curl the petals for a more natural look.
To make your own Hellebore flowers, or Christmas Rose, gather the tools and materials below. Download the flower pattern at the end of this post, and then watch the video tutorial to see how it all comes together. If you have any questions, just ask!

@Coleen Barnes
Back to the TopHello- Is there a paper source that doesn’t require that we purchase 100 sheets of one color? It is very cot prohibitive to make these flowers in the colors shown. Thank you, Coleen Barnes
Most of the colors are available in packs of 25 – this is just how they are sold from various paper sources and distributors. The “Bloom” color was discontinued since making this project and we were only able to find it in the 100 pack. LCI Paper (https://www.lcipaper.com/) does include an option to buy samples of their papers so you’d be able to buy some these colors individually, but it’s not as cost effective (around $1.50/sheet). Our frosted craft paper is also an option (Stone Fruit, Citrus Pack, and Conifer Pack.
