Welcome to a handmade flower lover’s blog, Camellia Bees. We will show you how to make a carnation paper flower from crepe paper. We hope you guys love it!!!
It will take more than 10 minutes to finish a realistic carnation paper flower. If you’re not used to it, it will take more time.
You will need the following:
- Crepe paper 180gsm or 140 gsm
- White floral wire
- Glue or Hot glue gun
- Floral tape
- Color pen
- Scissors
Now, let’s DIY a carnation paper flower with me!!!
Step 01: Petals of carnation paper flower
First, cut a piece of pink shrug paper to make the petals 6 cm by 25cm. Then fold the piece of paper eight times, using scissors to cut the piece into four pieces to up to ½ of length.
After that, stretch each petal to reduce shrugging. Finally, cut the bevel around each wing and shape the petals to look like the most realistic carnation paper flower.
Twist the petals of the carnation paper flower inwards in a spiral pattern, doing the same for the second layer. Tie the completed petal with wire, and then trim the bottom to make the carnation paper flower look more beautiful.
Note: Use your hand to swipe the petals in many directions to create the fragility of each petal.
Step 02: Calyx of the Carnation flower
Similar to how to make the paper sunflower sepals in the previous lesson, you cut three green crepe papers with a size of 3cm by 10cm and 2 cm by 5 cm to make a calyx shape. Paste and twist the calyx into two different layers.
Then use floral tape to wrap along the trunk connected to the main carnation paper flower.
Step 03: Leaves of carnation paper flower
Use green crepe paper to fold into 8 parts, then cut small, thin holly leaves with a size of 1cm by 4cm. Spread glue to connect leaves to stems.
Finally, use a color pen to fill the outer edge of the petals to create a realistic effect.
