A Step-By-Step Guide to Making Metallic Paper Potted Paperwhites
Ever wish you could capture the delicate beauty of paperwhites and keep it forever? These DIY metallic paper potted paperwhites let you do just that! Let’s explore the steps to creating these stunning metallic paper potted paperwhites.
Prepare Your Petal Templates
To start your metallic paper potted paperwhites, draw or print out petal templates. Cut out delicate, slightly curved petal shapes using your silver metallic paper. Don’t worry about making them perfectly identical. The slight variations will add to the natural charm of your flowers.
Assemble
Next, shape and assemble the flowers to give them a realistic touch. Gently curl the edges of each ice silver petal using your fingers or a pencil to add dimension. Cut a small, fringed circle from pure gold paper for the flower’s center and roll it up to create the tiny pips.
Attach the gold pips to the center of each silver petal using glue or a hot glue gun.
Steam and Leaves
Now, it’s time to create the stems and leaves. Begin by wrapping floral wire with green floral tape to create sturdy yet flexible stems. Next, using the Fairway paper, carefully cut long, pointed leaf shapes, paying close attention to achieving clean lines and consistent sizing.
Slightly bend the leaves to mimic the organic curves of real foliage, adding a lifelike feel to your paper flowers.
Potting
Finally, pot your metallic paper potted paperwhites for a beautiful display. Start by placing a piece of floral foam or clay inside your chosen decorative pot. Next, gently insert the stems into the foam or clay, varying the height and angles to create a natural and visually appealing arrangement.
Cover the foam
To give your creation a polished and professional finish, cover the exposed foam or clay with moss or pebbles. This adds a touch of organic texture and beautifully completes the look.
Final Adjustments
Take a step back and admire your work! Fluff the petals, adjust the positioning of leaves, and ensure the flowers are securely in place. And there you have it! Your elegant metallic paper potted paperwhites are ready to brighten up any space, adding a touch of handcrafted charm and shimmering beauty.
