This easy paper craft uses materials you likely already have on hand: sticky notes, scissors, and glue. Want a stem to your flower? A skewer works perfectly, but if you don’t have one, just roll up some paper diagonally and glue the ends to create your own. It’s a super simple and fun craft for everyone.
Have you ever thought of using sticky notes to make paper flowers? It’s such a clever idea, right? They’re the perfect size for the petals, which means less cutting for you! I used to make similar paper flowers, but I always used colored paper. Those were fun to make, but had more steps since I still needed to cut the paper into small pieces. If this project gets a good response, I might just share how to make that one too! Keep on reading to learn how to make a paper flower with Post-It Notes.
How to Make Paper Flowers With Sticky Notes

Learn how to make flowers out of paper with this easy paper craft tutorial.
Diagonal fold
Take a sticky note and fold it in half diagonally.
Make a kite
Unfold, then fold the top left and bottom right corners toward the line forming a kite shape.
Make a diamond shape
Fold the corners toward the center line again to form a diamond shape.
Form the petal
Repeat step 3 to make the petal. Make 6 to 8 pieces. The number of pieces depends on the diameter of your skewer and the center of your flower.
Curl the tips
Using a skewer, curl the tips of the petals.
Make the center of the flower
Take a green sticky note and fold it in half. Cut slits on the folded side. Make 2 pieces.
Glue the slits
Glue the uncut end of the slit to the edge of the skewer, then wrap it around.
Make the paper flower
Glue the petals to the center one by one using hot glue. Start by unfolding the outer folds of one petal, then glue the bottom part to the center. Next, apply glue to the side of this petal, then add another petal. Repeat the process until you reach the other side of the first petal.
Last touches
The last thing you need to do is fix the folds and you’re done!
