Colorful and bright gerbera daisies are one of the happiest summer flowers—and these cut crepe paper beauties will outlast the garden variety for months. This is a complex (but manageable) flower with dozens of petals, three different stamen, and leaves constructed with wire that allows us to exaggerate their shape.
This workshop introduces basic floral papercraft techniques. Learn how to manipulate the paper into different shapes to create gorgeous flowers so lifelike your friends will think are real! At workshop’s end, leave with the ability to complete three realistic gerbera daisies. The workshop flowers are created using one weight of crepe paper, but various paper types and weights are discussed
