How to Make Paper Spider Chrysanthemums for Fall
Since chrysanthemums bloom in the fall, this is a great flower to make right now. The real flower is also toxic to cats and dogs. So if you love chrysanthemums and want them in your home, it’s a good idea to make this flower out of paper.
You can make your own paper spider chrysanthemums using text weight paper and cardstock paper from PaperPapers. We used four different shades of purple for the petals and a green for the leaves. You can find all of these papers here.
Once you’ve got your papers for this DIY project, download the template below. We’ve included an SVG file if you’re using a cutting machine and a printable PDF if you’re cutting by hand. Since the petals on these paper spider chrysanthemums are pretty detailed, we recommend using a cutting machine.
