VIDEO: Heavy Crepe Paper Hydrangea (Starter Pattern)
If you’re a member and you have some crepe on hand that you want to use, you can just download the hydrangea pattern below to get started. However, I just love this teal and think it adds such a fun pop of color to your paper flowers or bouquet! Also, if you end up getting the Botanical Garden pack of crepe, the greens will come in handy for making paper plants or leaves for your flower arrangements.

While I love using my cutting machine for most projects, the pattern for this crepe paper hydrangea is simple enough to cut with your scissors. But if you have a Cricut Maker, you can use it to cut your crepe! Just use the crepe paper setting and select more pressure.
When you’re ready to make your crepe paper hydrangea flowers, gather the tools and materials listed here. Members can download the pattern below. Or you can get the pattern when you buy our Botanical Garden collection. Once you have everything in front of you, watch our video tutorial below—or watch it now to get inspired!
If you have any questions while crafting, please don’t hesitate to ask. You can always comment here—plus we love to hear from you!

Leave a CommentDoes this work as well with extra fine crepe paper?
Yes! We used extra-fine crepe paper in a Member Make https://liagriffith.com/crepe-paper-hydrangeas/
Can you use a cricut explore air 2 to cut out the svg flower files or will it only work with the cricut maker,
Hi Julie! Only a Cricut Maker will cut crepe paper, but you could use an Explore Air 2 for our frosted paper flowers. You might find this video helpful: https://liagriffith.com/craft-academy/11-things-to-consider-before-buying-a-cutting-machine/
Oh I figured something out. I will just make a cut file for them. How big are the circles you use?
Hi Christie,
We have added the circles to the SVG file.
Thank you so much Lia. You are the best.
The crepe paper setting on cricut maker doesn’t seem to cut the heavy crepe paper all the way through. What is the recommended paper type?
Hi April,
We prefer using the Fabric Cotton setting as it has more pressure and cuts the crepe much nicer 🙂
Hi. For the petals do we have to cup them
You want to pull on them gently in the middle, but not too much!
Are the heavy black lines in the SVG file a guide for the lengths of the wires? Thank you!
If you’re referring to the 3 vertical lines with “GRAIN” next to them, then no– as described above in the disclaimer copy, that indicates the direction of the crepe paper grain line for cutting.
I tried viewing this video here as well and it does not play. I was able to view the video with the link you provided to Cynthia on 1/8/2019. Thought you would want to know.
I tried 2 different browsers (and incognito) and am able to play the video, but we’ll definitely look into this!!
Video wouldn’t play. Tried several times.
The video is working fine on my end both on the website and on YouTube– give this a try: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSfHaml2WqM
