Bouquet of roses
This is a craft where you create vivid, three-dimensional roses out of paper and combine them into a bouquet.
First, cut origami paper into a rough flower shape, then wrap each petal around a straw or similar tool to give it a curved, three-dimensional form.
Make a stem from wire and curl the tip into a small loop; use that as a guide to gently layer the petals from the center outward, aiming to form a three-dimensional rose.
The key to a beautiful result is balancing the composition—such as how to angle and overlap the petals to emphasize depth.
clutch bouquet
A clutch bouquet is made by firmly bundling the stems of the flowers; its ease of holding and simple look are the key points.
Instead of wrapping it in paper, you tie the stems with a ribbon, so choosing the ribbon color is crucial.
While balancing with the colors of the flowers or artificial flowers you use, be mindful of a ribbon color and wrapping style that let the stem color show through.
Recommended approaches include using a ribbon in the same color family as the flowers to create a unified look, or choosing a contrasting color to add a lively touch.
flower paper
A bouquet made with tissue paper—the soft paper spreading out gives it a gentle, dimensional look that’s quite striking.
Stack the tissue paper, fold and tie it, trim the ends, then fan it out and carefully lift the layers to shape the flower.
Once the flowers are done, arrange them on wrapping paper, wrap them gently, and secure the ends to complete the bouquet.
It’s important to keep the overall balance in mind: what colors of flowers to make, how to arrange them, and what color to wrap them with.

Artificial flower bouquet
A bouquet made with artificial flowers isn’t just about tying them together; fine adjustments and small touches are the key to a beautiful finish.
First, many artificial flowers come with leaves or buds attached, so remove those as needed and trim everything to an even length.
Then bundle the flowers and arrange them in a bouquet holder or similar base to complete it.
As you assemble, be mindful of balance—choose flower color combinations thoughtfully and match them with the color of the wrapping or overall covering.
Felt bouquet
These are tulips made from felt and a vibrant bouquet created by combining them.
Cut the felt into tulip petal shapes and glue them together, keeping overlaps and rounded forms in mind.
Once the tulip flowers are complete, attach them to a Styrofoam ball, covering the surface, and fill any gaps with leaf decorations to finish.
When adding the leaf decorations, attaching a string at the same time makes it easier to display later, so that’s recommended too.
Be mindful of how you arrange the tulip flowers and maintain a good balance of colors.
ball bouquet
This bouquet arranges artificial flowers densely into a ball-shaped sphere, giving a soft and charming impression.
It’s assembled so that the flowers are visible on the outside, which also beautifully conceals the stem parts.
The base is a polystyrene foam ball, into which you insert the artificial flowers’ wires.
To make it easy to display later, it’s recommended to attach a hanging string in advance.
Be sure to pack the flowers tightly so the base doesn’t show.
Artificial flower
Artificial flowers are realistic reproductions of real blooms and are often used in bridal settings.
This bouquet combines such artificial flowers and adds various decorations for a glamorous finish.
The key is how you bundle the flowers—hiding the stem parts helps accentuate their beauty.
Don’t just assemble the flowers; be mindful of color balance, and skillfully incorporate elements like feathers and wrapping as well.
