As I am searching around for creative ways to promote ju.Lee, I came across the idea of using paper flowers. Initially, I figure that it’s essential to have dozens and dozens of flowers for the set in order to create the perfect romantic feel. As I research further into paper flowers, I found tons of ideas at DIY blogs and even on You Tube! They are really not hard to make. It just requires time and some creativity along with the right materials and tools.
These are some of the magnolia paper flowers that I made using a paper flower kit.
Paper flowers have been around for many years but not that many people cherish their beauty since the majority of us prefer fresh flowers over fake. However, using paper flowers is a excellent budget friendly idea for all occasions – whether it is for decorating your home, creating a set for a photo shoot, or even dressing up your wedding reception!
On average, a typical wedding floral centerpiece is $50. But if you purchase a pre-made paper flower kit that contains materials to make 12 flowers, it’s only $15. The kit is perfect for those who are beginnings because it provides you with all the essentials to make it happen. Add on a simple elegant vase that costs around $8, you only pay $23 + tax. What a deal! True, it takes time to put them together but it’s a fun project that you and bridesmaids can get together over a weekend to complete. Best of all, you can make them whenever you want without having to worry that they only last 5 days like fresh flowers. Also, I have to say that it’s probably one of the greenest ways to plan your wedding.

You should try them. I am having so much fun making these flowers while watching my favorite TV shows at night. All you need is a kit, wire cutter, scissors, and PVA glue. If you’re creative, you can purchase different pattern papers, floral wires, and floral tape create your own designs!
Here is a bouquet of paper daffodils made from the kit. Then I put the arrangement in a simple metal watering can. Simple and fun. Spring is here!
You can easily purchase the daffodil flower kit at the Paper Source store or at their online store. If you are a beginner, you should talk to one of the sales associates at the store and he/she can give you a quick 10 minutes tutorial on how to make your first bouquet of paper flowers!
PVA is the secret ingredient to making all paper flowers. It looks and feels like Elmer’s glue but stronger.
