Our Best Paper Flowers

These are the paper flowers we design and photograph ourselves, the tutorials DIY Joy is known for. From crepe paper roses to toilet paper bouquets, start with our most-loved projects right here.

DIY Paper Roses

A paper rose never wilts, and once you learn a few petal folds you can make a whole dozen for pennies. These rose tutorials use everything from crepe paper to book pages, each one shown step by step.

Flower Bouquets & Arrangements

A handmade bouquet is the gift that lasts, and it never needs water. Build a full paper arrangement for a wedding, a gift, or your own mantel with these bouquet tutorials.

Fall Flowers

Fall flowers bring the warm colors of the season indoors without a trip to the florist. These sunflowers, marigolds, and autumn blooms are made to last from September straight through Thanksgiving.

Spring Flowers

Spring flowers are the fastest way to chase off winter, and you can make a whole windowsill of them by hand. Think tulips, daffodils, and peonies in bright paper that never needs watering.

Crepe Paper Flowers

Crepe paper is the secret to realistic blooms, because it stretches and curls just like a real petal. These crepe paper tutorials cover roses, peonies, and sunflowers, with the beginner mistakes ironed out.

DIY Lilies

Lilies look intricate, but the fold is simpler than it seems once someone walks you through it. These paper and ribbon lily tutorials make an elegant bouquet you can put together by the dozen.

Toilet Paper Flowers

Yes, toilet paper, and no one will ever guess. This humble roll turns into surprisingly pretty roses and full bouquets for just pennies a stem.

Flowers Made With a Glass

One of our favorite tricks is using a drinking glass to shape a perfect flower, no template required. Trace, cut, and shape the petals into blooms that look store-bought.

Tissue Paper Flowers

Tissue paper flowers are the classic party craft, big, colorful, and nearly impossible to mess up. These pom-style blooms and garlands are perfect for showers, birthdays, and photo backdrops.

However you like to fold, roll, and shape them, there is a paper flower here for every skill level and every season. New tutorials get added as we make them, so check back before your next party, wedding, or rainy afternoon, and follow along with our flower-making videos on TikTok and Instagram.
