How to Make a Floral Paper Table Decoration

Posted by Gwen Collingridge on

One of my friends was running an event recently and she wanted to make some table decorations that were easy, quick, something a bit different and made an impact without breaking the bank.

We decided on paper flowers using a simple circular template that we could create from the top and bottom of one of our cups.

The tools for the job!

The tools for the job:

  Using the cup I drew one big circle and five small circles.

Then take the circles and cut about halfway to the middle. Run the Glue Roller down one side of the cut.

Cone Shapes

Create cone shapes.

With this one I layered in the cones as before and glued in a small pom pom with the Glue Roller

Jar of Buttons

Then I filled up a jar with blue/green buttons...

And placed the flowers on top, making it look like some flowers in a vase.

 

 

 Add stalks

For extra height we added stalks by using green card folded over itself. Making a split at the top I used the Glue Roller to stick them to the base of the flower.

Flowers in vase

We then added the flowers back into the vase with the buttons.

 

The Glue Roller was great to use as it created an immediate bond, so there was no waiting around for glue to dry.
