Springfold Paper/All plans/Paper flowers
Blooms built from a flat net: petals cut in one pass, scored on their own spines, then curled, layered and wired onto a rolled paper stem. Every flower lists its petal count, its curvature and the card weight the shape actually holds.

Dahlias are distinguished from chrysanthemums by one feature: the petal tips are notched, not pointed. Thirty-two petals in four rings, each ring rotated by a quarter of a petal pitch, plus a scalloped tip you cut before the petal is separated from its stack.

PETAL ROSETTE

Every paper bouquet needs something that is not a flower. Nine round silver-dollar leaves on a stiff wire, alternating left and right, at a spacing that narrows toward the tip. Forty minutes, and it is the piece that makes the other flowers look arranged rather than collected.

A marigold is not a flat flower, so this one is built from two coil sizes — 30 mm for the outer ring, 18 mm for the inner — with three wire-centred quills standing proud of the middle. One A4 sheet of 90 gsm paper makes the whole bloom.

QUILLING STRIPS

The calla is a single cone with one detail that decides whether it looks real: the long edge is curled back over the dowel for the last 25 mm. Get that curl and a 45-minute flower reads as a flower; skip it and you have made a paper trumpet.

Three concentric rings — 7, 6 and 5 petals — each rotated 9° against the one below, so no cut edge ever stacks on another. The head is mounted on a rolled paper stem instead of wire so the finished flower survives being posted.

PETAL ROSETTE

Crepe paper peonies fail for one reason: the petals are cut to the same length. Two sizes, a 16 mm difference, and a stem whose wire never reaches the centre — that is the whole method. Twenty-four petals, 55 minutes, no specialist tooling.
