Paper Flowers

all the paper flower anemones together to show colors

Love flowers but not blessed with a green thumb?

If you’re like me, the only flower that survives under your thumb is a paper one. And that’s ok, because paper flowers can look and feel like the real thing – or not. That’s up to you and one of the fun benefits of making paper blooms.

But don’t think you have to come up with the design from scratch. Plenty of talented bloggers graciously share their paper flower templates, and it’s a great place to start.

Transforming paper into botanicals is a growing trend, and for good reason.

Making paper flowers is a calming and meditative practice. Petal by petal, stamen to leaf, take delight in the moments of joy as your flower unfolds.

Honestly, it’s magical.

Don’t think paper flowers are a sloppy second to the real bloom. Paper flowers are a *close* second to nature – that’s just a fact. But that doesn’t mean they can’t capture the same essence and beauty as a real flower.

In fact…

Paper flowers offer several advantages

Paper flowers are wilt and droop free and look vibrant and fresh year round.  

And it doesn’t stop there.

Flowers can be made to match the perfect color palette, or season, and made months in advance – or made in a pinch with the help from a flower template (wink). No surprise, they are a chosen favourite for celebrations.

Big, small, realistic, whimsical.

It’s all possibly with some gorgeous colorful paper, tacky glue, and sprinkle of imagination.

A big goal for this year was to design my own pape A big goal for this year was to design my own paper, especially for my paper flower packaging.

So I took a leap and invested in this goal by signing up for an 8 week intensive Surface Pattern Design @surfacedesigntribe By far the best YES I’ve said all year.

I’m pretty shy about sharing my work, because it feels so fresh and new. Mostly, because I’m a beginner. But I’m in love with the process and I am going to be brave and share my journey.

You might be surprised at what kind of paper these soft velvety leaves were made from. Just something I always have laying around.🤓⁣
⁣
Swipe through and let me know what you think! I love the texture these leaves took on when painted. Soft + furry like suede.⁣

In the vase today: grass fillers. The weather has In the vase today: grass fillers. The weather has been a bit crispy cold the past few days so I planted myself at my desk to make while I pray for my friends in Texas. ⁣
⁣
I’ve been inspired by all the everlasting bouquets popping into my feed the last few months. And I needed something quick and easy to make to calm my mind and help me regain focus. Finding small easy projects always does the trick for me. The type that hushes my mind to rest with each snip+  twirl as I watch my fingers work. This recharges my spirit better than a nap. ⁣
⁣
Working on more filler grasses today : imagine fluffy bunny tails and feathery fronds. ⁣
⁣
Happy Saturday! ⁣

First...⁣

The Kin + Tonic website had some work done. Not a full make over, just a little spit shine to polish the focus to serve you creativity in the best way possible. I must say, it looks beeeeautiful. ⁣

 Second: I published my first paper flower color guide.⁣
⁣
Crepe paper is a available in an array of juicy colors, But adding your own color to paper flowers is like adding your signature to each petal and transforms the paper into magic.⁣
⁣
I’m often asked how I color my paper flowers to achieve an elegant + dreamy look. And here is the answer:⁣

I’m sharing my top 4 color recipes for Ranunculus paper flowers in my new guide that you can download for FREE. (Link in bio).⁣

These Fritillaria are proof that it doesn’t have These Fritillaria are proof that it doesn’t have to be perfect to be AH-MAZING.⁣
⁣
A few months ago I never even heard of Fritillaria. They don’t grow here but these little gems kept popping into my feed everywhere (hello Google spies, I see you). Now, I’m not a lover of purple, but these little weirdos are mesmerizing. Messy, but beautiful. ⁣

Color is energy, and the language of mood. It’s Color is energy, and the language of mood. It’s the most important starting point when creating paper flowers.⁣
⁣
For this reason I don’t always create to replicate nature exactly - but my interpretation. I mean that’s the magic of creating artwork.⁣
⁣
And I dove deep into creating my paint palette using non-toxic earth and mineral pigments. Every pigment requires a unique ratio and mixture to get the perfect texture and color. It’s a very intuitive and meditative practice that I’m obsessed with.⁣
⁣
Swipe through to see the colors I’m working with at the moment (for project I’ll share soon.) I used a mixture of this palette to create the Sweet Peas seen here and on the post a few days ago.⁣
