Our weather has been spectacular this past week, which makes me even more giddy when I start to see my colorful tulips begin to appear in my front yard. Whether you’re looking to make a colorful springtime kids’ craft or are looking for a lovely floral craft to make a special Mother’s Day gift, handmade tulips with This lovely paper is perfect. The combination of tulips appearing on the page in a 3D effect and bright, vibrant colors make this paper tulip artwork a showcase stopper.
How to Make a Paper Tulip Flower Craft
Prepare:
– paper tulip craft patterns <—- Get tulip patterns
– green card
– green card
– red, dark red and yellow cardboard (or color of your choice)
– scissors
– glue
Tutorial:
1. Print the tulip craft pattern onto paper on your colored cardboard and cut out individual pieces of the pattern. You can also print the pattern on white paper and colorize the pattern pieces.
2. Fold each of the six paper tulips in half. Use your glue stick to add glue to one of the folded halves of the paper tulips. Then glue the other half on it. Continue adding glue and add a paper tulip until all six have been glued together, creating a 3D paper tulip.
3. Create as many 3D paper tulips as you like to use in your paper tulip craft. Then, stick each paper tulip on top of your blue cardstock, varying the height of each flower.
4. Cut the stems for each of your paper tulips. Glue them to the base of each of your flowers. Then, use scissors to cut off the branches hanging from the bottom of your green card.
5. Glue two flower spikes to each of your paper tulips. To add dimension to your floristry, fold some of the tops of the stems down.
