Making Paper Accordion Flowers
Make these Paper Accordion Flowers to hang on trees like ornaments. So simple and pretty!
I have a collection of twigs that I always use to hang seasonal things like Christmas ornaments, Valentines hearts, St. Patrick Day shamrocks, and Easter eggs. But I felt like adding something colourful and a little springy for the transition time to Easter.
I have a huge stack of scrapbook paper, punches and embellishments that are collecting dust. So I thought I’d put them to use and make some paper flowers!
This was a great project for the kids too. (It’s easy enough for little hands.) They are on spring break, so they are happy to get in with Mom and create!
How to Make Paper Accordion Flowers:
- Step 1: Cut a 1 x 12 inch strip of paper
- Step 2: Fold like an accordion
- Step 3: Using strong glue, glue end to end
- Step 4: On a flat surface, press the centre down. Then with the glue, fasten the centre with a button or any desired embellishment.
- Done!
Such a simple craft that makes a pretty impact! The colour and pattern options are endless!
Have an inspired day!
how adorable & fun!
Very cute. I am glad I have so many doors in my house. I am getting so many ideas for wreaths. LOL
That’s a great idea. It does look like the perfect project kids can do, but with the papers you used, it looks elegant enough for adults to want the project in the house.
