How to Make A Paper Tulip Craft Step-By-Step
1. Print and cut out the paper tulip template
Print out the paper tulip flower craft template on your colored cardstock and cut out each of the template pieces. You could also print out the template on white paper and color the template pieces.
2. Fold and glue paper tulips to create 3D flowers
Fold each of the six paper tulip flowers in half. Use your glue stick to add glue to one of the folded halves of a paper tulip. Then glue another half onto it. Continue adding glue and adding a paper tulip flower until all six have been glued together, creating a 3D paper tulip.
3. Glue paper tulips onto blue cardstock
Create as many 3D paper tulips as you’d like to use in your paper tulip flower craft. Then glue each of the paper tulips across your blue cardstock, varying the height of each flower.
4. Cut and glue stems onto each flower
Cut out stems for each of your paper tulips. Glue them at the base of each of your flowers. Then use scissors to trim off any stems that are hanging over the bottom of your blue cardstock.
5. Add extra dimension by folding down the stems
Glue two stems onto each of your paper tulips. To give your flower craft some extra dimension, fold down some of the tops of the stems.
