🌷 Materials You’ll Need
- Crepe paper or craft paper in pink, lilac, and white

- Floral wire or wooden sticks
- Hot glue gun or craft glue
- Scissors
- Tape (green floral tape preferred)
- Wrapping paper (soft pink or color of your choice)
- Ribbon or twine for tying
🌸 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Create the Petals
- Cut crepe paper strips into petal shapes — around 2 inches tall for small flowers and 3 inches for larger ones.
- Gently stretch the centers of each petal to add a natural curve.
- For layered flowers (like roses or peonies), make 10–15 petals per bloom.
2. Form the Flower Center
- Roll a small strip of crepe paper tightly to form a bud.
- Secure it around your floral wire with glue.
- Start adding petals one by one, overlapping slightly, and glue them in place as you go.
3. Add the Leaves and Stems
- Wrap the lower part of each flower with green floral tape to create a stem.
- Cut leaf shapes from green paper, fold slightly down the middle for dimension, and glue them along the stem.
4. Make Multiple Flowers
- Repeat the process to create flowers in different colors and sizes for variety.
- You can mix roses, carnations, and pom-pom-style blooms for a fuller bouquet look.
5. Assemble the Bouquet
- Arrange the flowers together in your hand until you like the composition.
- Wrap them with pastel pink or kraft paper in layers for an elegant look.
- Secure with tape, then tie a ribbon or twine around the base for a beautiful finishing touch.
