I saw this paper flower tutorial in Intimate Weddings and gave a whirl by started doing with cupcake liners
What you need:
- 8 Cupcake Liners for one flower
- Pipe Cleaners
- Straight Pin
- Floral Tape
How to Make Paper Flowers
Take cupcake liners out of their packaging.
Flatten eight cupcake liners (enough for one flower) with your hands.
Using a straight pin, poke two holes on the inside of the cupcake liners about a half an inch apart.
Insert pipe cleaner into the holes through the inside of the cupcake liners. You will probably only be able to do a couple at a time. Keep repeating until you have all eight cupcake liners threaded onto the pipe cleaner.
Bring the end of pipe cleaner through the second hole.
Starting as close as you can to the edge of the cupcake liners, wrap your pipe cleaner with floral tape. It takes a bit of practice to get good at it.
After all eight of the cupcake liners have been placed onto the pipe cleaner, begin pinching the cupcake liners with your thumb and index finger one at a time, beginning with the top one. Repeat until all cupcake liners have been shaped.
