How to Make a Pretty Paper Centerpiece

by Katie

Easy

Today I am going to show you how to make Pretty Paper Flowers for a beautiful centerpiece. I used a pre-made burlap vase and added the paper flowers. The flowers are very easy to make and you can use whatever kind of scrapbook paper you would like to for a theme. This centerpiece would be great for weddings, party favors or baby and bridal showers. Paper flowers last a lot longer than real ones.

Materials:

Scrapbook paper

Pencil

Scissors

Glue gun

Floral wire

Burlap vase

First I cut my scrapbook paper sheets into 6″ x 6″ pieces. Then traced a spiral circle onto each piece of paper.

Cut the spiral circle on the pencil markings. Then trim off the end to make it circular.

3. Start with the outside and roll the paper. Make sure to roll the start of the flower tight.

4. Once you get to the base, let your flower loosen up a bit. At the base use a glue gun to to glue down the flower.

5. After the hot glue has dried gently poke through a piece of floral wire.

Just repeat until you have the amount of flowers you need. I used three different shades of orange scrapbook paper to add some contrast.
