Here are a few tips to get you started with making paper flowers:

For example, cardstock paper is a good choice for making large, sturdy flowers, while tissue paper is a good choice for making delicate flowers. In each paper flower tutorial, we have suggested the best material for that flower’s shape and size. And we will recommend the paperweight in case you want to enlarge the flower size.

Step 1: Upload this gerbera daisy SVG file and cut the templates on your cutting machine.

Gerbera flower has a lot of petals and with the help of Cricut, the cutting lines are neat, and much quicker than hand cutting. Gerbera flowers have many petals, and cutting them by hand can be time-consuming and messy. However, using a Cricut machine makes the process much easier and faster. With the help of a Cricut, you can quickly and easily create a beautiful bouquet of gerbera flowers for your wedding day or any other occasion.

All of these items are included in DreamyPosy’s free Gerbera daisy templates (see picture).

Please watch the video to have a clearer view of how to form them. Then glue it together accordingly.

Add a lime green tiny circle to the center of those layers.

Step 3: Curve the flower petals

Each layer will have its own curves.

The inner layer (which is a little smaller) will have strong curves while the outer one will have only light curves.

Step 4: Glue the flower layers together.

Use the hot glue gun to attach them together.

Try to rotate each layer to be interleaved the other layer’s space.

Step 5: Make the stem

Attach the wire head (which is inserted into the PVC transparent tube) to the bottom of the flower.

Then cover it with the sepal.

Wrap the stem with floral tape.

Step 6: Make the leaves

Attach the wire to the leaf with white glue and cover it with a small piece of paper.

Use your nail to create the vein of the wire on both sides.
