How to Make 3D Flowers

Here’s how it works (don’t worry—it’s super simple!):

Print the Template
Start by printing out the flower craft template of your choice. There are 6 different templates to choose from.
Color and Cut
Color the flower base and the pieces that will give it the 3D effect. Then, cut out the 3D pieces. You may also choose to cut out the square flower base and glue it to a piece of cardstock.
Fold the pieces
Each template has some quick instructions for how to fold and/or cut the smaller pieces to prepare to create your flower.
Assemble Your Flower
Once the pieces are folded glue them on to the flower base. Let them dry completely before moving your creation.

Turn it into a card!

Want to turn this into a card or keepsake?

Just glue the finished flower to a folded piece of cardstock and let kids write a sweet note inside. Perfect for Mother’s Day, teacher appreciation, or spring birthdays!
