How to Make Your Tissue Paper Flower Card
Let’s get started on creating this heartfelt masterpiece!
- Download and Print: First things first, download the printable flower card template PDF. Once you have it, print it out on your chosen paper (cardstock recommended for durability).
- Color the template: Now comes the fun part! Grab your colored pencils, crayons, or markers and let your creativity flow. Think about your Mom’s favorite colors and patterns as you bring the design to life.
- Fold It Up: Once the artwork is done, fold the sheet in half to create a classic greeting‑card shape.
- Create the flowers:
- Cut tissue‑paper squares roughly 1 cm x 1 cm (perfection isn’t required).
- Pinch each square into a tiny ball.
- Lightly dip the bottom of each tissue‑paper ball in glue, then press it onto the card just above the flower stem outline. Layer as many as you like.
Voilà—your card is done! Now open it up and write a sweet message from the heart. Here are beautiful Mother’s Day quotes, you can use.
