The wild rose is one of the most simple and stunning flowers to make. Meet Kate and start by learning how to make the stamen. Then shape the petals and assemble your rose. Add a mitered leaf for a bit of greenery.
This airy blossom needs a bit of structure to help support it. First, create and shape the inner petals and assemble the flower center. After that, add the outer petals to give the flower more volume.
In this lesson, Kate shows you how to create a delicate poppy, complete with stamens and pollen. Also, see how to use spray paint to make a custom color for the petals, and give the petals texture and shape.
This beautiful spring flower has a fairly straightforward construction, but it does require a lot of petals. Find out how to use pigment ink to shape your petals. Plus get tips on how to manipulate them to give your flower a full-bloom appearance.
For this rose, you'll learn to work with heavy crepe paper to create shapely petals for a voluminous bloom. Starting with the flower center, make the stamen and pollen, then move on to cut and shape your petals. Afterwards, get tips on colors and arranging.
Tillandsia (air plants) are great for adding greenery to arrangements, but they're also lovely on their own. Here, learn how to use card stock, spray paint, and pan pastel to create your very own air plants in two different sizes.
While individual flowers look beautiful on their own, it's even more fun to arrange them together. In this last lesson, Kate shares tips for working with paper flowers to help you create your most impressive presentations.
