Why buy decorations when you can make beautiful, lasting ones? Paper marigolds are a staple for Indian festivals like Diwali and Ganesh Chaturthi, and they’re surprisingly simple to craft. I make a bunch with my family every year—it’s become a fun tradition!
You’ll Need: Orange and yellow crepe paper, green floral wire or pipe cleaners, scissors, and glue.
Step-by-Step:
Cut Petals: Cut a long strip of orange crepe paper (about 3-4 inches wide). Fold it accordion-style. At the top, round the corners to create a petal shape. Unfold—you have a connected string of petals!
Create the Center: Take a small rectangle of yellow crepe paper, fringe the top with scissors, and roll it tightly. This is your flower’s center.
Assemble: Wrap the orange petal strip around the yellow center, securing the bottom with glue and a twist tie.
Fluff & Shape: Gently separate each layer of petals and pull them upwards to shape the flower. Attach a green pipe cleaner as the stem, wrapping it with green crepe paper tape if you have it.
They look gorgeous in a vase or strung into a garland!
These stunning paper marigolds will brighten up your home in fall or any time of year, no watering required. Simple way to make your own tissue paper flowers to decorate your home or altar for Dia de los Muertos. These pretty flowers can be made in any color, and you could easily apply this same technique for building a bursting Mother’s Day or birthday flower bouquet.
