Whether you love, hate or are indifferent towards Valentine’s Day, I think you may still find my latest craft idea interesting. It can easily be adjusted for any time of year or holiday!
My kids love it when I decorate a little for each holiday so I make an effort to do a little something with hearts and red accents this time of year.
I originally set out to do something completely different with my paper muffin cups but then I came up with this Valentine’s Day paper flowers craft idea. It’s so simple and adds a fun punch of color for the holiday.
These paper flowers were so simple to make and didn’t take very long.
Materials:
- paper muffin cups
- green covered floral wire
- hot glue
- green ribbon
Tutorial:
It’s easier to show you with a video how to make these. They are very simple to make, just hard to describe! Click on the link to see my video tutorial (A big thanks to my daughter for being my videographer and editor!):
The paper flowers can be used to decorate for Valentine’s Day or can be given as a sweet teacher’s gift!
It would also be fun to make some for Spring. I think they would be cute in a little Easter basket!
As much as I adore real flowers, I love the fact that these won’t wilt or die before the holiday.
Happy Crafting!

They are so pretty and a bouquet like this would brighten anyone’s day! So simple – goes to show we don’t have to spend lots of money to make our homes bright and cheery! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Barbara! So often the best ways to brighten things up are simple and cheap! 🙂
I have a little milk bottle and was wondering what I was going to use it for ~ Now I know.
Thanks Julie ~
Have a wonderful day.

Sounds perfect! Thanks for you sweet comment!
Adorable and simple! These would be great when you need inexpensive centerpieces for Moms and Muffins, etc.
What a great idea! Thanks for your sweet comment, Ellis!
Hi Julie,
I don’t usually decorate for Valentine’s Day, but you have inspired me! I’m going to try the paper flowers. They really are cute.
Thanks for posting,

Super cute! It’s amazing what you can do with cupcake liners isn’t it?
Julie, these are so cute! Pinning. 🙂
Julie, I just adore your cupcake paper flowers. There are so many things to do with those little papers that turn out adorable. Have you ever seen that at Michael’s they often have really cute ones for $1.00 or $1.50 up at the front bins?
Thank you so much for joining us at Thoughts of Home on Thursday. Words can’t describe how happy we are this morning. 🙂

You are just being so creative over there! You’re making me jealous! I’m pinning these and watching the video…multiple times. Maybe I’ll have it down in time for next Valentine’s day! LOL
These are so eye-catching and pretty! What a perfect Valentine’s day bouquet!
Thank you so much for joining us on Thoughts of Home on Thursday.

Very sweet! Pinning this for future use! I love easy crafts like this.
These are very sweet and you are right–they add a perfect splash of color for Valentine’s Day! I think I may just make some yellow ones (like daffodils) as I have spring fever! They would look so cute sitting on my kitchen windowsill!
