Spring Crepe Paper Flower Wreath Craft: Brighten Up Your Room 🌷🌼

Crepe Paper Flowers: Spring Wreath Craft

This Spring Crepe Paper Flower Wreath is a fun and rewarding craft that will instantly brighten up the room where it is displayed.

The pretty crepe paper flowers are surprisingly easy to make, meaning you might just get carried away creating a whole bunch of them!

This project is great for older kids and adults to do independently, but it is also a wonderful craft project for working on together with little ones.

The wreath is built on a simple paper plate ring, which gives it an inexpensive, ready-made base.

Prepping the Wreath Base and Template ✂️

The foundation of this wreath is a simple paper plate, and using the template makes cutting the flower pieces easy.

The Paper Plate Base

Prepare: Cut out the center from a standard paper plate, leaving only the rim to create a ring shape.
Painting (Optional but Recommended): Paint the remaining ring with green paint and set it aside to dry. Painting the base green gives the finished wreath a more professional and integrated look, but you can skip this step if you prefer a simpler look.

The Free Printable Template

Download Link: Click HERE to download the free 2-page flower template.
Printing: Download and print the template. Cardstock is the best material for the template pieces, as it is sturdier for tracing, but any paper will work.
Tracing: Use the templates to trace petal and fringe pieces onto colorful crepe paper (Purple, Pink, White, Yellow, Orange) and leaf pieces onto green crepe paper. Trace and cut out a large quantity for a full wreath!

Assembling the Crepe Paper Flowers 💐

The flowers are assembled using floral wire and tape, which gives them a realistic, sturdy structure.

Building the Bud

Start the Center: Loop the floral wire and add a small, crumpled piece of crepe paper at the top to form a “bud”.
Wrap: Wrap the bud with a strip of crepe paper and secure it by wrapping green floral tape around the base.
Add Fringe (Optional): If you want a fringed center, add the fringe piece and secure it in place with the floral tape.

Adding Petals

First Petal: Add a single petal piece and wrap the floral tape around the base of the petal to secure it in place.
Repeat: Repeat the process by adding additional petals, securing each one with the tape. Add as many petals as you’d like to create different sizes (big or little) and styles (tightly bunched or loose).
Finish: Finish off the flower by wrapping floral tape around the base a few more times to make it secure. Trim off any excess wire.
Variety: Repeat the entire process to make a nice assortment of flowers in different colors and assorted sizes.

Final Wreath Assembly 🪴

Once you have a good collection of flowers and leaves, it’s time to glue them onto the painted ring.

Arrangement: Arrange the leaves and the crepe paper flowers onto the dried paper plate ring. Try out a few arrangements before gluing.
Secure: Once satisfied with the layout, use white glue or tacky craft glue to securely attach the leaves and flowers into place.
