How to make paper flowers from a template

1. Choose a petal shape and number of petals, and set the diameter of the largest layer.
2. Add one or two smaller layers for a fuller, 3D flower.
3. Print at 100% (“Actual size”) so the diameters match the labels.
4. Cut out the templates and trace them onto coloured card, paper, felt or fabric — or print directly onto coloured card.
5. Cut out the shapes, then curl or fold the petals: roll each petal around a pencil, or crease down the middle.
6. Stack the layers from largest to smallest, rotating each so petals fall between those below, and glue at the centre.
7. Add a centre: a button, a circle of card, a pom-pom or a rolled fringe of paper.

For big wall flowers, print each layer on its own page by increasing the diameter; for cards and scrapbooking, 1.5–3 inch flowers are a good size.

Choosing a petal shape

Materials and tips

• Card stock (160–250 gsm or 65–110 lb) holds its shape for 3D flowers; thinner paper curls more softly.
• Felt works well for brooches, hair clips and bunting — trace with chalk or a fabric pen.
• Crepe paper stretches, so petals can be cupped for realistic flowers.
• Use sharp scissors or a craft knife for points and notches; cut into the notch from both sides.
• For many identical flowers, trace the template onto card to make a sturdy stencil.
• Cutting machines can use the printed shape as a guide for designing your own cut file.

Craft ideas

• Giant paper flower backdrops for parties and photo walls.
• Flower garlands for classrooms and nurseries.
• Handmade greeting cards with a 3D layered flower.
• Felt flower hair clips and brooches.
• Spring display boards and nature-themed bulletin boards.
• Gift toppers instead of bows.

Worked example: a three-layer card flower

For a birthday card, choose 5 rounded petals with a 3 inch diameter and 3 layers. The template prints layers of 3, 2.25 and 1.56 inches. Print on pale pink card, cut the three shapes, curl each petal around a pencil, and stack the layers with petals offset. A yellow button glued in the centre finishes a flower about 3 inches across that stands out from the card by nearly half an inch.

Making a giant paper flower

Oversized paper flowers for backdrops use the same shapes, just bigger. Set the diameter to 10–12 inches for the largest layer, print each layer on its own page (or tile it across two sheets and tape them together), and trace onto large card. Use 6–8 petals for the base layers and cup each petal by cutting a small slit at the base and overlapping the edges before gluing — this gives depth. Build four or five layers, each about 15% smaller than the last, and finish with a fringed centre. Attach to the wall with removable adhesive putty or a loop of ribbon.

Leaves and stems

For stems, roll green paper tightly around a skewer and glue the edge, or use florist wire wrapped with green tape. Simple leaves can be cut from a folded piece of green card: draw half a leaf against the fold, cut, and open for a symmetrical leaf with a crease down the centre. The paid pack includes printable leaf shapes in three sizes to match the flower templates.

Printing at actual size

The print uses real inches, so a 4-inch flower prints 4 inches wide when your print dialog is set to 100% or “Actual size”. “Fit to page” shrinks the template. After printing, check one labelled diameter with a ruler. If the combined width of all layers is more than about 10 inches, print fewer layers at a time or reduce the size.

For teachers

Flower templates are a flexible classroom resource: younger children practise cutting curves on the round shapes, older students can measure and compare diameters, and art lessons can explore symmetry — the number of petals equals the order of rotational symmetry. Nature lessons can compare real flowers’ petal counts: many flowers have 3, 4, 5 or 6 petals, and daisies and sunflowers are actually clusters of many tiny flowers.
