Earlier today we shared a Whimsical Watercolor Inspiration shoot, which featured some amazing, giant paper flowers. Now, thanks to Blome’s Paperie, we are sharing how to make them! We love that these giant flowers are free-standing and look so whimsical in any setting! Could you imagine a ton of these for a rad ceremony backdrop? Let’s see how to make one!
What You’ll Need
• Watercolor paper
• Watercolor paints
• Paint brushes
• Scissors
• Glue
/i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/step11.jpg?resize=300,204" target="_blank">http://i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/...4/04/step11.jpg?resize=300,204 300w, http://i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/...014/04/step11.jpg?resize=90,60 90w" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; max-width: 100%; height: auto; line-height: 1.5em;" width="650" />
Step 1: Start with water color paper. I used 12 inch by 18 inch paper but any size will work. Paint your paper. For the whimsical watercolor photoshoot I blended the colors together more, but today I felt like making it streaky. Do whatever inspires you!
Let the paper dry. This step is easily overlook but important. You don’t want to mess up your paint with your hands or the scissors so it’s best to let it dry for about an hour or until it’s dry to the touch before moving onto the next steps.
/i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/step2-3-redo.jpg?resize=227,300" target="_blank">http://i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/...tep2-3-redo.jpg?resize=227,300 227w" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; max-width: 100%; height: auto;" width="650" />
Step 2: Draw your petal shape onto the paper, keeping it with rounded edges and coming to a point. Depending on what I am making the flower for I might throw more bumps onto the petal, or make it more streamlined.
Step 3: Draw out the rest of your petals making them 1/3 the size of the previous one as you go. Culminating in a petal about 2 inches high. You may need more layers of petals than pictured if you are making a particularly large flower (though mine is 2 feet wide) you might also use less layers of petals if you’re making a smaller flower. The big thing to keep in mind is stepping the sizes down by 1/3 every time. Then, cut out your petals. Cut six petals of every size and cut an extra 6 petals for the smallest layer.
/i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/tip1.jpg?resize=300,211" target="_blank">http://i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/...014/04/tip1.jpg?resize=300,211 300w" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; max-width: 100%; height: auto;" width="650" />
Note: Don’t throw away your scraps! You might need to cut some extra petals from them.
/i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/step41.jpg?resize=300,225" target="_blank">http://i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/...4/04/step41.jpg?resize=300,225 300w" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; max-width: 100%; height: auto;" width="650" />
Step 4: Cut a slit in the base of all* of your petals. *Except one of the small 2 inch petals.
/i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/step5-6.jpg?resize=300,224" target="_blank">http://i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/.../04/step5-6.jpg?resize=300,224 300w" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; max-width: 100%; height: auto;" width="650" />
Step 5: Glue petals along one side of the slit you cut.
Step 6: Overlap side of the slit without glue over the side with glue. Hold until dry. *This is why it’s so important to let your paper dry before starting, if you’re paper is still wet your glue wont dry.
Not Pictured: Get a piece of something hard and cut it into a circle. (Empty cereal boxes will work for this)
/i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/step7.jpg?resize=300,200" target="_blank">http://i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/...14/04/step7.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, http://i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/...2014/04/step7.jpg?resize=90,60 90w, http://i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/...14/04/step7.jpg?resize=180,120 180w" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; max-width: 100%; height: auto;" width="650" />
Step 7: Take your large petals and add glue to the back of them, then glue your petal to the flat circle you just cut.
/i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/step8.jpg?resize=300,200" target="_blank">http://i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/...14/04/step8.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, http://i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/...2014/04/step8.jpg?resize=90,60 90w, http://i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/...14/04/step8.jpg?resize=180,120 180w" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; max-width: 100%; height: auto;" width="650" />
Step 8: Repeat with all large petals, slowly overlapping them under they go all the way around the circle.
/i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/step9.jpg?resize=300,202" target="_blank">http://i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/...14/04/step9.jpg?resize=300,202 300w, http://i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/...2014/04/step9.jpg?resize=90,60 90w, http://i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/...14/04/step9.jpg?resize=180,120 180w" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; max-width: 100%; height: auto;" width="650" />
Step 9: Hold your petals down for a bit so they can dry/ get attached to your base.
/i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/step10-redo.jpg?resize=227,300" target="_blank">http://i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/...step10-redo.jpg?resize=227,300 227w" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; max-width: 100%; height: auto;" width="650" />
Step 10: Repeat for all layers of petals.
Note: When you finish gluing your layers of six it’s time to evaluate. Does it look full enough at the center? If not you may want to add a few more small petals. I decided to add 3. I overlapped my flowers a bit more than previous layers so I needed to make sure I pressed them down firmly again.
/i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/step111.jpg?resize=300,213" target="_blank">http://i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/.../04/step111.jpg?resize=300,213 300w" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; max-width: 100%; height: auto;" width="650" />
Step 11: Now to start the center, take a small 2 inch petal and roll it around a paintbrush.
/i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/step12-14.jpg?resize=300,147" target="_blank">http://i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/...4/step12-14.jpg?resize=300,147 300w" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; max-width: 100%; height: auto;" width="650" />
Step 12: Remove your petal from the paint brush and glue it into a cone shape.
Step 13: Cover the bottom of your cone in glue
Step 14: Place the cone into the center of your flower and press down firmly.

So many of you loved the giant flowers from Britney + Mark’s wedding that we asked Britney to share how she made those huge flowers and we are super excited to share the DIY with you all today! Britney did want me to share a little disclaimer that when they made these they never planned on creating a tutorial (but we are so happy you did!), so there is no exact science – just do what works for you, and if you have a great solution for one of the steps please share it! Big thanks to (once like a spark) photography for the photos!
Materials:
• Several sheets of poster board (it takes at least two full sheets of poster board per flower)
• Large Plastic Solo Cups (1 per flower)
• Bath poof
• Hot glue gun and extra sticks
• Spray Paint
• Clear Plastic Wrap
• Thin wall electrical conduit, ½” x 10’. Home Depot SKU# 203106
• Halex ½” set screw connectors, Home Depot SKU# 839663
• Raco 3 ½” round cover, Home Depot Internet SKU# 202058390
• Wood Block or bucket filled with sand to help the flower stand up
• Fabric to pool at the base of your stems
Preparing the bath poof:
So we tried to use a whole poof…but it was just too much, so we cut it in half. There is a small rope that goes around the middle of the bath poof. Cut the poof in half leaving one side tied up by the rope. Keep a firm grasp on the rest of the poof. Add a generous amount of glue to the newly cut edge, then cover with a scrap of poster. Re-glue any places that are not secured. Do the same to the other half. Now you can make two flowers. Yay!

MAKING THE FLOWER
Step one:
Lay the poster board glossy side down. (If the poster does not have a glossy side, it’s just fine.) Rip the poster towards yourself length-wise. Start by ripping pieces that are the entire length of the poster. I’m not going to lie, it takes a little practice to get a good technique.
After you get 5-7 very long petals between 2-4 inches wide, move on to tearing the smaller pieces. It’s good for the petals to curl, because they will begin to flatten out over time and you don’t want a droopy flower….or maybe you do!
Tip: Separate the petals based on size. You need several of each size, but more ofthe medium and small.

Step Two:
Cut your cup in half. Then cut 1 inch tabs all the way around it. This will be your base. Hot glue your biggest petals to the OUTSIDE of the cut tabs. The weight of the petals should open the cup into a semi-flat shape.
/i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/diy-flower-04.jpg?resize=229,300" target="_blank">http://i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/...y-flower-04.jpg?resize=229,300 229w" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; max-width: 100%; height: auto;" title="step two" width="650" />
Step Three:
Continue adding petals to the INSIDE of the cup moving from largest to smallest. Be sure to fill in areas that look empty. Stop before you get to the smallest petals.

Step Four:
Glue your bath poof to the center. Once the bath poof is glued, add the smaller petals so that they curve up around it.
/i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/diy-flower-07.jpg?resize=229,300" target="_blank">http://i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/...y-flower-07.jpg?resize=229,300 229w" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; max-width: 100%; height: auto;" title="diy-flower-07" width="650" />
Step Five:
Once you are satisfied with the fullness of the flower, lightly dust the center with spray paint.
Tip:Guard the outer petals with newspaper or extra poster so they don’t get sprayed.

Preparing the stem:
I’m going to be honest, my dad did this part – and there is no exact technique. Some have asked if PVC pipe would work. We tried it, but it was too flimsy. Instead, we used thin wall electrical conduit from the electrical department at Home Depot. You also need a screw connector and a round metal outlet cover. If you are confused, print out the picture, take it to the home improvement store and they should know exactly what you need.
Bending the conduit (stem). THIS is the difficult part: Hold the pipe up at an angle, one end resting on the ground. Slightly bend by stepping on the lowest section, move your foot up 8-10” and repeat until you have the curve you want. Be careful and don’t try to bend the conduit all at once, making numerous smaller bends works best. Once the conduit is curved, attach the Halex screw connector onto the flower end of the conduit, knock the center plug out of the Raco round cover plate and secure it to the screw connector (very easy, just sounds confusing).
/i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/diy-flower-09.jpg?resize=300,224" target="_blank">http://i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/...y-flower-09.jpg?resize=300,224 300w" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; max-width: 100%; height: auto;" title="diy-flower-09" width="650" />
Option 1: Drill a 7/8” inch hole in a large piece of wood. Insert the bent conduit stem (as seen below).
Option 2: Use buckets filled with gravel or sand to keep the flower upright.
Option 3: Simply push the stem into the ground if your event is outdoors.
Option 4: Make something up. If it works, share your wisdom with the rest of us!
/i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/diy-flower-10.jpg?resize=300,224" target="_blank">http://i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/...y-flower-10.jpg?resize=300,224 300w" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; max-width: 100%; height: auto;" title="diy-flower-10" width="650" />
/i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/diy-flower-11.jpg?resize=300,206" target="_blank">http://i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/...y-flower-11.jpg?resize=300,206 300w" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; max-width: 100%; height: auto;" title="diy-flower-11" width="650" />
Wrap the conduit in several layers of clear plastic wrap. It actually looks better if it’s a little messy.
/i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/diy-flower-12.jpg?resize=229,300" target="_blank">http://i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/...y-flower-12.jpg?resize=229,300 229w" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; max-width: 100%; height: auto;" title="diy-flower-12" width="650" />
Finally, attach the completed flower using a lot of hot glue to the 3 ½” cover plate. You will need A LOT of hot glue. And just when you think it is secure, add more glue…just in case. You don’t want the wind taking off with the top of your flower! Now pool your fabric around the base (you can see this in her ceremony photos below) and –Viola! You are finished!!

Step 1: Start by adhering your balloon decorating strip on the surface you want to hang it on. Its important to know which shape you’d like your arch to be first – it could be hanging to the side like ours, or have multiple swoops in it. We found at the bridal shower, adhering with a staple gun helped secure the strip with the weight of the balloons.
Step 2: We chose to blow up the balloons overnight to save time. We also recommend using air, and not helium unless you want your arch to swing upwards and not hang down like ours. The air lasts for a few days which is great if you need more time to prep. After they are blown up, start attaching the balloons to your strip. The strip has holes where you can pull the balloons through (see photo on the right). Begin with your biggest balloons, onto your medium balloons and then your smallest balloons.
/i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/step2.jpg?resize=300,226" target="_blank">http://i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/...16/09/step2.jpg?resize=300,226 300w, http://i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/...16/09/step2.jpg?resize=768,580 768w, http://i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/...6/09/step2.jpg?resize=1024,773 1024w" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; max-width: 100%; height: auto;" width="1300" />
Step 3: At this point you should have a full arch. The smallest balloons are attached with glue dots (your new best friend for this DIY!) and placed in any gaps or spots that need more color of one balloon.
/i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/final1.jpg?resize=300,222" target="_blank">http://i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/...6/09/final1.jpg?resize=300,222 300w, http://i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/...6/09/final1.jpg?resize=768,570 768w, http://i0.wp.com/greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/.../09/final1.jpg?resize=1024,759 1024w" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; max-width: 100%; height: auto;" width="1300" />
Step 4: Lastly, begin filling in your arch with flowers. We suggest buying flowers that are light and not heavy. Long vine greens are perfect because they can be attached to the balloon strip as well by pulling them through the holes in the strip. We started with the greens first, and then filled in with flowers (these can be attached using glue dots as well). For any heavy flowers, attach with string on the strip for extra support. Play around until you have an arch that you love!

Such a fun and colorful piece for parties (we’d like to keep this in our house foreverrr!)
If you make your own Floral Balloon Arch with AFloral using these steps or supplies, we’d love to see how it turns out, so please share on Instagram along with the hashtag #GreenWeddingShoesDIY. We’ll regram our faves!
