Download the Free 3D Paper Flowers Printable Template here and print on white cardstock. Cut out the flower stem and leaf pattern included in the template. Use a pencil to trace the stem three times and the leaf six times on green cardstock. Cut out each of the flower pieces.
Trim one of the flower stems as needed so the flowers can be staggered on your background paper. Use an extra strength glue stick to glue each of the flower stems at the bottom of a sheet of blue cardstock. Then add glue on the center of each flower and glue them at the top of each stem.
Add glue on the bottom half of each leaf and glue one on each side of the three flower stems. Fold down or slightly bend the tops of each leaf to add a three-dimensional look to them.
The paper flowers and leaves popping off the page give this craft a fun 3D effect and add to it's beauty. Hang your colorful flower craft up on display at home or school to admire all season long.
