All these colorful flowers  are made from a single material—cardstock (also known as colored cardstock). This type of paper comes in so many colors that you can create countless flowers with beautiful color gradients or in unusual color combinations—whatever suits your taste and always perfect for your project.
 


The pattern includes template drawings for 3 flower shapes, each in 5 to 7 sizes ranging from about 3 to 7.5 cm, as well as circle templates for flower centers. The possibilities for using these flowers are virtually endless: you can, for example, use them to decorate gift wrapping, string them together into decorative garlands, or make jewelry out of them… The flowers are very easy to make and are ideal for beginners as well as for crafting with children.

For anyone who likes to give homemade pralines as gifts, I have the perfect box: on two levels, there’s room here for eight pralines measuring about 3–3.5 cm.



The praline box is made of cardstock, measures about 9.5 x 7.5 x 9.5 cm, and is very easy to make.

For flower lovers, I have plenty more in my collection, such as these paper lilies:


 
Here, only the blossoms are made from cardstock. I used crepe paper to wrap the stems and for the leaves. The lilies are about 35 cm tall and easy to make.

A tealight holder for cozy summer evenings, or a praline holder for your party guests, or both one after the other—just as you like and need.



The holder is made from photo cardstock and is approx. 13 cm in diameter. It is easy to craft and also very suitable for beginners.

If you’re already thinking about fall and want to start crafting for it now, you can get started with this owl lantern  for the St. Martin’s Day parade.



The lantern is made of cardstock and tracing paper, measures about 25 x 26 x 10 cm, is nice and compact, and easy for even small children to carry. The many circles on the feathers are just one option—the owl looks pretty even without them.
