Hi friends! Bettina here with Rosy Bee Creative bringing you a tutorial with a couple of my very own mini paper flower designs perfect for the fall season! I love creating gorgeous paper blooms that capture the essence of nature.
Paper flowers are so versatile, especially if you’re like me and lacking a green thumb. As shown here, I love to create small wall hangers with my flowers, but these can go in or on anything you can think of:
- Add them to a wreath
- Affix them to a seasonal greeting card
- Create table centerpieces
- Add them to a gift bag or box
- They make a great addition to themed garland
- Stem them for a bouquet

And giving each layer added dimension using the shaping mat and roundball shaping tools.
Each layer is assembled from largest to smallest to create the finished flower.
I prefer to use 65#, solid core, solid color card stock but you certainly don’t have to! Textured card stock can give a whole new layer of dimension in your paper flowers.
Each of my original flower templates follow a similar shaping style and assembly. Once you have the technique, you can make any Rosy Bee flowers.
Happy crafting, friends!

gorgeous flowers – just need to find the time to make them!
I love the Gianna flower! I just made one as a “tester” and I’ll now be making more! I’m glad I found you!
You make the process look doable for anyone, even someone new to paper flowers. Thank you for the great tutorial!
I make mini doll houses… love the flowers but need to be tiny. How much can these be downsized?
Such beautiful flowers. I love your tutorial and that you actually took your time to show each step and that the video wasn’t speeded up so fast that we couldn’t keep up, thank you!
