How to Make Cricut Flowers

Start by cutting all of your pieces with your Cricut machine. I have the cut file made for you here. You will need to rearrange the mats to make the best use of your card stock, however. Just move and flip the pieces until they fit the best. Then make a small slit in the bottom of each petal as shown below.

To create the petals for your giant paper flowers, cut paper into the shape of a heart, with the bottom pint cut off.

The larger the petal the longer the slit should be. Repeat for all of your petal pieces.

Cut slits into the paper flower petals in order to arrange them around the flower center.

Then you want to curl all of the petals. Just wrap the card stock ends around a pencil as shown below.

Use a pencil to curl the ends of your paper flower petals

You will get curled ends on your paper as shown below. Repeat for all of the flower petal pieces.

Curling the ends of your giant paper flowers makes them look much more like flower petals!

NOTE: The largest three sizes get formed with the curls going OUT. The smallest two sizes get formed with the curls going in. I put them in two different stacks so as not to get messed up when making giant paper flowers like these.

Curl all the petals for your paper flowers before assembling your giant paper flowers

Add hot glue to one of the ends and fold over the petal as shown below. Repeat this process for all petals.

Glue the ends of your paper flower petals together to make a 2D petal shape

I did the first three sizes as shown above. The smallest two sizes were done in the opposite direction but using the same method.

Create your paper flower petals using a hot glue gun

Just add hot glue to one of the sides and fold over. Hold with your hand until the hot glue cools enough to be secure.

Now that you've created your flower petals using colorful construction paper, it's time to create the flowers

Now we can begin to start forming large paper flowers with the petals. Start with the largest size and use hot glue to secure the petals together at the bottom.

Start assembling your large paper flowers by layering the larger flower petals on top of each other and hot gluing them together

There are four petals so they should look like four corners slightly overlapping when complete.

Use the largest paper flower petals to create the outside layer of the flower

Then keep layering on the sizes with additional hot glue.

Begin layering the second layer of flower petals, using the smaller paper flower petals

Once you have all three of the largest sizes complete, set that aside. Assemble the smallest two sizes in a similar way but off to the side. Start with the three smallest petals and hot glue together.

The smallest flower petals will be used as the center of the large paper flowers

Then do the next size and add the smallest to the center.

The two smallest layers of flower petals will create the center of the large paper flowers

Add this center piece to your flower.

Your DIY paper flowers are complete! You can add the leaves to the side now with hot glue or wait until you put them in place.

Then you want to curl all of the petals. Just wrap the card stock ends around a pencil. The largest three sizes get formed with the curls going OUT. The smallest two sizes get formed with the curls going in.
Hot glue the two ends of the petal together (where you cut the slit—it should resemble a curled up heart shape). Repeat this process for all petals. The smallest two sizes were done in the opposite direction but using the same method.
