Today’s flower is a bright and lovely peach-pink lisianthus. 🌸
Lisianthus carries the beautiful meaning of “unchanging love.”
When you make it as a paper flower that stays beautiful without wilting, the meaning feels even more special.
That’s why handmade paper lisianthus can also make a thoughtful and meaningful gift. ^^
For this project, I used 90g crepe paper to create the soft and delicate look of real lisianthus petals.
I chose a peach-pink color, but white or purple would also look beautiful.
Whichever color you choose, you can create a lovely and elegant crepe paper lisianthus flower with its own unique charm.
To add detail to the bottom of the flower buds and the stamens, you’ll need a little pastel powder.
If you don’t have pastel powder, don’t worry!
You can simply scrape a regular soft pastel with a craft knife and use the powder instead. 🙂
[ How to Make a Crepe Paper Lisianthus Flower ]
STEP.1
Cut 11 pieces of crepe paper for the petals using the template.
Then, trim the top edge of each petal into a soft wavy shape.
STEP.2
Apply green pastel to the bottom part of each petal.
Then, use a thin wooden skewer to gently curl the top edge of the petal and shape it.
STEP.3
Gently stretch the center of each petal by pressing it with your thumbs.
Cut the pale yellow crepe paper using the pistil template, then cut only the top part in half.
STEP.4
Round off only the top part with scissors.
Then, use a hot glue gun to attach it to the floral stem wire.
STEP.5
Curl the pistil by gently pulling it against the edge of the scissors.
Then, bend the top of the 23-gauge floral wire into a small loop.
STEP.6
Wrap the wire with green floral tape, then apply yellow pastel powder to the tips to create a pollen effect.
Next, attach six stamens around one pistil and secure them together.
STEP.7
Cut the green crepe paper using the calyx template, then twist the pointed sections to shape them.
Next Cut two pieces of green crepe paper using the leaf template. Place them so that the grain forms a V shape, position a piece of 23-gauge floral wire along the edge, and glue the two pieces together.
STEP.8
Insert an 18-gauge floral wire into the styrofoam ball for the flower bud.
Then, apply green pastel to the bottom part of each bud petal.😘
STEP.9
Attach 4 to 5 bud petals around the styrofoam ball, then twist both the top and bottom parts to shape the bud.
After that, attach the calyx underneath.
STEP.10
Attach five of the prepared petals.
Then, arrange and glue the petals around the stamens.
Final Step
Attach six more petals in the same way.
Then, combine the flower, bud, and leaves together to complete the stem.
Eva’s Tip😘
When adding green pastel to the petals and bud petals, apply it very lightly at first. If you need more color, build it up little by little.
If you apply too much color from the beginning, you may have to remake the petals. ^^;;;
Using too much wood glue can sometimes cause discoloration, so I recommend using a hot glue gun for most of the assembly.
If you do use wood glue, use only a very small amount.
Your beautiful lisianthus is now complete! 🌸
It looks just like a fresh flower, but because it never wilts, you can enjoy it for a long time.
Place it in your living room or bedroom, and every time you see it, you’ll feel proud of what you created. 🙂
Even if this is your first time making paper flowers, take your time and follow the video and step-by-step instructions. You can do it! ✨
If you purchase the template, I’d be very grateful if you think of it as a small way of supporting my work. 💕
And if it’s difficult to find all the materials, or you simply want to try making lisianthus just once, I also have a Lisianthus DIY Kit available.
I really hope you’ll give it a try and enjoy making your own beautiful paper lisianthus. ^^ 🌸
