How To Make Giant Paper Flowers With A Cricut Machine

Are you ready to dive into making paper flowers? Watch the video above or see our step-by-step instructions below for making flowers you will love.

Supplies Needed To Make Giant Cricut Paper Flowers

• 12×12 cardstock (8 sheets for flower and one for leaves)
• Cricut machine (you can see which is my favorite here)
• Hot glue and a glue gun
• Flower cut file (click here to access)
• Scissors
• Pencil

Step 1: Cut Out Petals & Leaves

Start by cutting all of your pieces with your Cricut machine. I have the cut file made for you here. You will need to rearrange the mats to make the best use of your card stock. However, just move and flip the pieces until they fit the best. Then make a small slit in the bottom of each petal as shown below.

The larger the petal the longer the slit should be. Repeat for all of your petal pieces.

Step 2: Curl Petals

Then you want to curl all of the petals. Just wrap the card stock ends around a pencil as shown below.

You will get curled ends on your paper as shown below. Repeat for all of the flower petal pieces.

NOTE: The largest three sizes get formed with the curls going OUT. The smallest two sizes get formed with the curls going in. I put them in two different stacks so as not to get messed up when making giant paper flowers like these.

Step 3: Hot Glue Ends Of Petals Together

Add hot glue to one of the ends and fold over the petal as shown below. Repeat this process for all petals.

I did the first three sizes as shown above. The smallest two sizes were done in the opposite direction but using the same method.

Just add hot glue to one of the sides and fold over. Hold with your hand until the hot glue cools enough to be secure.

Step 4: Assemble Large Paper Flowers

Now we can begin to start forming our large paper flowers with the petals. Start with the largest size and use hot glue to secure the petals together at the bottom.

There are four petals so they should look like four corners slightly overlapping when complete.

Then keep layering on the sizes with additional hot glue.

Once you have all three of the largest sizes complete, set that aside.

Step 5: Assemble Small Paper Flowers

Assemble the smallest two sizes in a similar way but off to the side. Start with the three smallest petals and hot glue them together.

Then do the next size and add the smallest to the center.

Step 6: Add Smaller Flower Stack To Larger Flower Stack

Glue smaller flower stack to larger flower stack.

Your DIY paper flowers are complete! You can add the leaves to the side now with hot glue or wait until you put them in place.
