How to Make a DIY Heart Paper Flower Bouquet

Flower Instructions:

1. Print the template onto Astrobrights Paper.
2. Cut out the heart shapes and fold each in half. Use 4 hearts per flower.



3. Glue the hearts together to form one flower.



4. Cut a sheet of Gamma Green™ or Terra Green™ paper in half. Fold it into thin strips to create a stem, gluing as you go to secure it.



5. Gently open the bottom of the flower, insert the stem, and glue to fully secure.
6. Cut out a leaf and glue it to the stem. Repeat to make as many flowers as you’d like and mix in other colors, if desired.

Bouquet Wrapping Instructions:

1. Choose one sheet of paper and decorate it with markers. I chose a red hearts pattern for one and then an ‘I love you’ pattern for the other, but you can get as creative as you want!



2. Gather one corner to form a cone, making sure that the bottom is closed.
3. Secure the cone with double-sided tape.
4. Add your flowers and arrange them. Optionally, you can trim the stems to create different heights.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
