I always enjoy a good home decor craft and these hanging paper tulips are perfect for an inexpensive and crafty spring or Easter activity! They look really good either hung from an Easter tree or a chandelier for a pretty paper floral touch.

You will need:

Paper card stock, around 160 gsm and one thicker piece of card for the template
Pencil
Scissors
Crafter’s companion tape pen or a glue stick
Strong cotton thread
Small decorative beads
Hot craft glue gun

Firstly, you’ll need to print or cut out a template of the tulip head shape onto thicker card. Here is the template that I used:

On your chosen coloured card, draw carefully around your template six times and then cut out the six flat tulip heads.

Fold all six pieces directly in half. Take care to make sure that you get a perfectly central fold.

Using a glue tape pen or a glue stick, glue all six folded pieces one on top of another, being careful to align them as you press them together.

how to make tulip head paper decorations

Add a strip of glue down the central spine and loop in some heavy-duty thread so that you can hang your spring decoration. You can then bring the last two sides together to glue and secure them.
