Crepe Paper White Asiatic Lily

To start, our updated Crepe Paper Asiatic Lilies put a fresh spin on one of our favorite paper flowers. If you've crafted our Crepe Paper Easter Lily before, you'll recognize that gorgeous trumpet-like structure. However, this workshop takes a different approach, using double-sided crepe paper and Sculpey clay to capture the open petals, speckled details, and wonderfully prominent centers of Asiatic lilies. So, gather your supplies and craft these gorgeous flowers along with us.


Once you start shaping the petals, these lilies really begin to show their personality. In particular, our curling tool and scoring stylus are perfect for adding those sweeping curves and little bends that keep the petals looking natural. Meanwhile, PanPastel adds a sunny glow near the center, while a few tiny speckles bring in one of our favorite details from the real flower.


Of course, we saved one of the best details for the center. Instead of making every element from paper, we’re using Sculpey clay to add dimension to the stamens. Afterward, Burnt Sienna PanPastel and a Walnut brush marker bring in warm brown tones to contrast those beautiful white petals. As a result, this small bit of sculpting gives our Crepe Paper Asiatic Lilies an entirely different texture and makes those dramatic centers impossible to miss

Additionally, don’t overlook the leaves! Asiatic lilies have long, narrow foliage that creates beautiful balance with their oversized blooms. Let your leaves curve away from the stem, while positioning the flowers at slightly different angles. Just a few stems look gorgeous in a simple vase and easily elevate any empty windowsill or shelf.

So when you’re ready, check out our Crepe Paper Asiatic Lilies Video Workshop. Afterward, share your flowers in our crafters’ community and on your socials with #MadeWithLia.

FAQs

Why use Sculpey clay in a paper flower?

For this project, Sculpey adds another material and dimension to the flower’s detailed center. It creates a nice contrast with the softer paper petals.

How do you make crepe paper lily petals look more realistic?

Shaping is key. In particular, tools such as a curling tool and scoring stylus can add curves, definition, and movement so the petals don’t remain completely flat.
