The M O S T Sophisticated Paper Flower Crafts

August 10, 2015 by FaveCrafts 1 Comment

I used to just brush off paper flower crafts like they were just something to use scraps for, but these fun paper crafts have become a new way of saving money and putting a personalized touch to any home or decor. You mostly see paper flower bouquets for weddings and center pieces on Pinterest, but they can be for more than just weddings! These delicate paper flowers will look great in your home as some colorful accents with any pattern or color of your choosing.

The M O S T Sophisticated Paper Flower Crafts

Paper Flower Crafts

I know it’s a little difficult to craft with paper without it looking like a five year old’s room (trust me, that’s how my room currently looks), so that’s why I picked out the most adult-looking flowers—and by that I mean they look like actual flowers. I think the comparison is a little uncanny sometimes. Don’t get me wrong, I love fresh flowers as much as the next person, but buying them bi-monthly gets so expensive, and I don’t exactly have an expansive garden where I can just pick and propagate bushes and clusters of perennials. These are a way to do some cheap decorating, but still get a sophisticated look. Thrifty crafting to decorate and cut corners is awesome,  but we don’t want our living rooms to look like the craft room threw-up.

Although I love using vintage book crafts, the English major in me still cringes when I think of tearing out book pages and cutting it up. For these easy crafts, you can use every paper flower color of the spectrum or recycle old books to make unique patterned flowers. Unlike real flowers, you aren’t limited to the laws of nature. If you want black or blue roses, you can simply just pick out the paper. What you decide to do with them, you’re sure to love these super realistic paper flowers. Just for comparison purposes, a picture of the *real deal* is on the left, while the craft is on the right.

 

Quilled Spider Chrysanthemum Flowers

So having the petals quilled gives the craft a little more texture, even if it doesn’t look exactly like the real thing. It’s a little reminiscent of the Art Deco era, so these would make great Gatsby party decorations.

 

 

Soft Pink Paper Peonies

These look just as delicate as the actual peonies. Clusters of these to make a bouquet would be beautiful.

 

 

 

Deep Purple Paper Dahlias

These meticulous flowers look great in the metallic paper, and they look just like the flower.

 

 

Dazzling Orange Tiger Lily

Speckled with black, the bright orange paper is a sleek flower paper craft.

 

 

Incredibly Realistic Paper Hydrangeas

Hydrangeas are my absolute favorite, so this paper flower craft look incredible compared to the real thing. Can you see the difference?

 

 

 

Romance Rose

Despite the colors, these single-roses include the leaves and the blossoming petals.

 

 

 

Mulberry Paper Roses

Mulberry RosesWell, I guess Mulberry Roses aren’t real—or at least I couldn’t find any pictures of real ones, but they’re still just as cute!

 

 

Perfect Paper Succulents

These are a simple way to get the rustic succulent decor going. Even though succulents are a very low maintenance plant, these paper crafts have absolutely no maintenance whatsoever.

 

 

Which paper flowers surprised you the most on the similarities?

    The paper succulents are the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. Finally, a plant that doesn’t have to fear death at the hands of an incompetent gardener such as myself!
