2 How to Make Paper Daisies
Step 1: Cut the Crepe Paper
Cutting crepe paper for daisy petals and leaves
Start by cutting the crepe paper into the following sizes:
– Daisy Centers: Cut the yellow crepe paper into strips measuring 1.5*7 cm. Cut enough strips to match the number of daisies you plan to make.
– Petals: Stretch and cut the white crepe paper into pieces measuring 1*3 cm. You will need 8 petals for each daisy.
– Leaves: Cut the green crepe paper into pieces measuring 2.5*6 cm. Each daisy stem will have 2-3 leaves.
Step 2: Create the Daisy Centers
Creating the daisy centers
Take the yellow crepe paper strips and stretch them gently. Fold each strip into four parts and cut fringe along the unfolded edge to create the daisy centers.
Step 3: Shape the Petals
Shaping and curling the daisy petals
Cut and shape the white crepe paper pieces to create curved petals. Use a small wire or the tip of your scissors to gently curl each petal, giving it a soft and natural curve.
Step 4: Create the Leaves
Cutting and shaping the leaves
Cut and shape the green crepe paper pieces to create leaves. Cut a zigzag edge to resemble the shape of daisy leaves. Curl the leaves gently, similar to the petals.
Step 5: Assemble the Daisies
Attaching the daisy center to a wire
Use your glue gun to apply glue to one end of a yellow paper strip. Wrap it around a small wire and secure the other end with more glue.
Glue the petals around the daisy center, alternating layers to create a fuller look.
Gluing the petals to the daisy center
For a more natural look, cut a piece of green crepe paper measuring 2*3 cm and fringe one edge. Glue it around the base of the flower to create a “calyx.”

If your wires are not green, wrap them with green crepe paper. Attach the leaves (2-3 per stem) to the wire using glue.
Repeat these steps to create more daisies.
