Refer to the video at the top of the post to see exactly how we made these beautiful DIY paper flowers.

Now that your flower is tightly rolled up, place it on the table and let it go, so that it will unravel slightly to reveal a beautiful spiral flower.Ĭarefully apply hot glue to the bottom of your spiral flower and securely press it against the round end of your spiral that was left as your flower’s base. Try to keep the straight edge of your spiral lined up as you roll.

Take the outer end and start tightly rolling until you get to the round center. Once you’ve cut your spiral, go back and cut a wave pattern on just the outer edge (this can be uneven for more interest). When you get to the center, leave the end as a small circle in the middle, which will be a base for your flower. Start at any point of the circle’s outer edge, and cut it into a spiral shape (the cut should be about 1″ in width). (This does not have to be a perfect circle!) Next, use scissors to cut your square into a circle by trimming close to the sides and rounding off the corners. Experiment and make a variety of sizes! Step 2 Cut your cardstock into a square using your paper trimmer – the size of the square depends on the size of the flower you’d like. We cut our 8.5 x 11″ cardstock down to a 6 x 6″ square in this tutorial.
