Learn to make washi tape flowers the easy way!
Youll use just a few craft supplies, and anyone can make flowers with this method, including kids.
Skills Required: Beginner.You will be cutting and bending wire as well as using tape.
This tutorial is nice because there is nothing to learn and no mess.
Each flower takes just a few minutes to make.
With spring in full swing, and summer right around the corner I feel likeflowersare everywhere!
All my neighbors plants are blooming, and the weather here is beautiful.
Cant you see these used in spring/summer crafts, home decor, party, or even wedding?
Once you start making these, you wont want to stop.
The only hard part of this tutorial is deciding which washi tape to use.
I love that the longest part of this project is selecting what colors and patterns I like!
If youve bought a lot of washi tape, you understand that there is a difference in quality.
Some of the cheap types just dont stick.
What I love about the Duck Washi (besides the awesome patterns!)
is that it sticks every time.
Duck Washi sticks to itself pretty well, so just keep that in mind as you use this tape.
If you cant, just strip it from the wire and start over.
As far as patterns, it looks cool to mix washi tape colors/patterns.
Do keep in mind that the tape is slightly transparent.

Place a piece of washi tape on the back of the floral wire, completely covering the wire.
Trim around the edge of the wire with scissors, but dont cut too close to the wire.
You want to ensure theres about 1/8 1/4 of washi tape around the edge that can stick together.
After you make one petal, you are going to want to make four to five more.
I used a total of six petals for each flower.
Cut a piece of floral accent that you could put in the middle of the petals.
I got some small, pretty flowers from the floral section at Michaels.
I noticed they also have this same accent material in the spring section near the gnome houses.
Place three petals on one side of the center accent and three petals on the other.
Wrap the base with floral tape as shown.
Youll wrap the base about 8 10 times.
Bend the petals in the direction that you want them to go around the center of the flower.
The wire makes it really easy!
Once you make one flower make at least 100 more!
Okay maybe not 100 .
but youll probably want to make a lot.
Anyone that tries this tutorial is automatically obsessed with it.
Its just too easy and fun not to love!
