Can I put a stem on the flower?

Yes. To do so, just get another small piece of paper, roll it up tightly and glue it onto your flower.

What if I don't have colored paper?

Make white flowers or color your paper with paint, pencils or coloring pens. If you use ink pens or paint to color the paper, make sure it is dry before you begin making your flowers.

Question

The last step doesn't make sense; mine didn't come out like that. Any advice?

Community Answer

It's very hard to blow; just prep it a bit and blow.

Question

Why can't I make the petals for my paper flower?

Community Answer

If you are using a thicker paper it will be harder to do; I had to use duct tape to tape mine down.

Question

Will I still be able to blow the flower up if I make it with printer paper?

Community Answer

Yes. The printer paper would probably work better than colored paper. Just make sure you don't get spit on the bottom, or it will rip.

Question

How do I easily fold the paper when making paper flowers?

Community Answer

Good creases help you the most––if you don’t crease it hard enough, you can have difficulty folding the paper (depending on thickness).

Question

Can I use watercolors to color my paper flower?

Community Answer

You can if the paper is thick enough because if it isn’t the paint might leak through. To know if the paper is thick enough, try painting a small spot first.

Without paper of different colors, am I still able to pull this off?

You can use white plain paper to make elegant-looking flowers. If you want them colored, you can use paint, markers, crayons or colored pencils.

Question

Can I make it really small?

Kawai Cookie The Alpha Wolf

Community Answer

Yes but it will be harder to fold it. Try making a bigger one before trying the smaller one, so you have a feel for the folds.
