2 How to Make Paper Tulips
Step 1: Create Tulip Petals
– For this project, I chose purple crepe paper for the petals, but feel free to select your favorite color.
– Next, cut the crepe paper into strips with dimensions of 15×3.5cm.
– At one end of the strip, use your fingers to create small folds, forming the petal’s tip. Note that the distance from the edge to the key twist should be 3cm. Fold the twisted part back at the ridge, and repeat on the other end.
– Secure the two ends with a glue gun to prevent unraveling. Gently stretch the petals to give them a curved, fuller shape. Repeat this process to create the remaining tulip petals.

Step 2: Form the Tulip Bud
– Take a piece of wire and bend it into a 2cm diameter circle to serve as the base for the flower bud.
– Attach the petals you’ve made earlier to form the bud, using adhesive to secure them to the base. Be careful and precise during this step to avoid any loose petals.

Step 3: Create the Tulip Stem
Making the Tulip Stem with Wire
– First, wrap a white paper strip around the wire to secure the stem.
– Use green floral tape to cover the stem again, paying close attention to the flower base to prevent any white paper from showing. This step also adds strength to the stem.
Step 4: Craft the Tulip Leaves
Creating Tulip Leaves with Green Paper
– Use green paper to form the leaves. Fold the paper in half and cut out tulip leaf shapes.
– Secure the wire stem in the center of the leaf with adhesive and attach the leaves together.
