Springtime Crafts

I love doing any kind of crafts. The kids and I love to get into the warm weather spirit with Springtime crafts. I love finding Spring crafts for kids that as an adult, I can also do too, and enjoy.

I have seen a lot of DIY Paper Flower tutorials. The kids and I love making them. We have made giant crepe paper roses and crepe paper flowers, tissue paper flowers and other types of giant paper flowers, including beautiful flowers made from pom poms.

When the kids make these flower crafts we decorate the walls with them. When I make them, I like to create an arrangement with them. I love that these spring craft ideas are simple enough that we can do diverse things with them.

What’s the Best Paper for Making Flowers?

I use lightweight paper when I am making these flowers. You can use heavier cardstock to make the flowers too. We have used basic construction paper to make the flowers.

Another option, if you do not have colored paper on hand is to make the flowers out of white paper. Before assembling the flowers, have the kids color each piece.

These daffodils are easy to make. I am including a template that will make it even easier. You will be able to change up the way the paper flowers look by changing the paper or by using a little creativity.

How Can I Display Paper Daffodils?

These daffodils can be made as is and then added to picture frames or along the edges of shelves. Another option is to add a pipe cleaner or other type of stem and then added to a vase or a centerpiece. The daffodils can also be made into a bouquet and placed directly on the wall.

These DIY paper flowers can be used as a gift topper, baby shower, bridal shower or birthday party decor

How to Make Daffodil Paper Flowers Step by Step

Trace the patterns from the template on the selected craft papers. Cut out the patterns from the craft papers by cutting along the traced lines. Cut small fringes on the rectangular cut out.

Take the 6 petaled paper cut out and create folding lines between every petal.

Apply a small amount of glue on the extra part of the petaled paper.

Join the glued part with the open end petal to close the pattern.

Roll the spiral cut out from its open end and continue to roll until reaching the center; Glue the roll with the center to create a rolled flower. Take the fringed cut out and roll it along its intact part, keeping the fringed end open. Glue at the end of the roll to secure it.

Place and glue the rolled fringed pattern in the center of the rolled flower pattern. This will be the center of the flower.

Now glue the center part created in step 6 on the center of the flower pattern.

Fold each of the petals backwards and then release the fold.

Now squeeze the tip of each petal to create a pointy tip. There, done!

Use different colored craft papers, mix and match to create tons of variation!
