Let’s grow together

If you haven’t been to one of our workshops before, these monthly challenges are designed to help you grow your skills as a paper flower maker. Because this is an intermediate flower, you may or may not be able to craft along with us, depending on your skill level. But I encourage everyone to join us as this is a great time for you to meet other members and for us all to connect in real time!

Crafting tips: This crepe paper bearded iris has a lot of hand-cut fringe, so you’ll want to keep that in mind. Also, we used a new coloring technique that involves using a water brush with watercolors. This allows the colors of these petals to be very customizable. We recommend practicing painting on scrap pieces of crepe before coloring your petals.

Ready to get started? If you haven’t joined us for Member Make before, be sure to read the instructions on how to participate.
