Tips for making these construction paper flowers.

  • To speed up the cutting process, we recommend grabbing a circle punch.
  • If you’re not making a rainbow flower, just cut 6 circles from any color you like.  You will need 6 circles to make your construction paper flower.
  • Another way to speed up the cutting process, try stacking a few sheets together and cut them at once.
  • Try making these paper flowers in all different sizes!  To easily create the smaller flowers, I used a 1″ hole punch. 
  • Experiment with different shapes! Try heart-shaped petals or adding a small circle to the middle.
