I love large scale party decorations and these giant paper flowers make the perfect backdrop for a spring garden party. They look amazing behind your dessert table, but you can also use them as a fun photo booth backdrop. All you need are a few basic party supplies and a little DIY action to make your garden bloom with giant paper flowers.

Step
1

Begin by cutting a 6" wide by 48" long strip of green fadeless paper.

Roll the paper into itself so that none of the white is showing and then begin to crinkle it together to create texture.

Next, twist the paper to create a large stem. You will want to twist the entire length of the paper to create a 4' long stem.

The final step is to use removable glue dots to adhere the stem to the wall. Use more glue dots or removable mounting strips to adhere paper fans to the wall on top of the stem to create a full flower.
