Tulips as paper flowers in a pot

Craft charming paper flowers in a clay pot. These not only look good, the crafting is also huge fun. Ready designed they are a real eye-catcher on the windowsill, desk or kitchen table. If you are big or small, you will enjoy the colorful coloring of the paper flowers each.

Transfer the motif templates to the corresponding folding sheets: the large flowers go on the colorful folding sheets, the small ones on transparent folding sheets and green folding sheets are optimal for the leaves. Cut everything out, fold the leaves lengthwise in the middle.

On the petals are now applied small pieces of double-sided tape: we have marked on the templates the places where the tape should be positioned.

Now glue the petals together slightly overlapping so that the typical calyx shape of the tulip flowers is created. Fold the center of each petal outward a little more. By doing so, you support the flower shape and enhance the tulip look.

This is how all the colored and transparent flowers are made. Then glue the transparent calyxes into the larger colored ones.

To obtain flower stems of different lengths, now divide the round sticks about in the middle. The finished flowers will look a little more realistic later because of the different heights.

Paint one wooden ball per flower in May green and let it dry. Put a ball on the end of each round stick and fix it with some hot glue if necessary.

Now glue a finished flower calyx onto each ball. Fix the previously prepared green leaves at the bottom of the round stick and bend them into shape. The tulips are now ready.

Before you paint the terracotta pots with colors that match the flowers, you should coat each pot with gesso (primer). This white paint ensures that the craft colors subsequently applied after drying adhere better to the terracotta and shine more intensely due to the white.

After the paint has dried, cut the cutting foam, place it in the pots and then drape the finished tulips in it. You can hide the plug foam under small crumpled balls of brown folded paper. This will give the finishing touch and create a realistic overall look.
