GET THE MOST AMAZING PAPER FLOWER SHADOW BOX IDEAS WITH OUR STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL AND DESIGNS!

One of the first things I ever made with my Cricut was a paper flower. I fell in love with these pretty paper creations and began to design paper flowers myself. I picked a rose from the bush beside my house, pulled off the petals and traced them one at a time to use as a template in my design software. I wanted to make my rose as realistic as possible. From there I was hooked and since then I’ve made all kinds of paper flower and projects to go with them, and today I’m showing you how to make one of my favorite and sharing some of my best paper flower shadow box ideas!
