How to Make a Pretty Paper Flower Craft With Kids

Sometimes crafts happen pretty much by accident around here. In this case, I was trying to create this awesome heart wreath but things just did not going according to plan.

Paper Heart Flower Craft Supplies

Cut your paper into strips approximately 1″ wide. Glue two strips with the white sides together so that you end up with two different patterns on each strip.

Fold each strip of scrapbooking paper in half.

Place the points of the flower hearts together and staple each to the adjacent heart to form a flower.

The number of hearts you use for your paper flower depends on their size and the look you want. My five-year-old decided they needed centers, so she wadded up an additional strip of scrapbooking paper and glued it to the center on the ones pictured above.
