FEBRUARY 2024 - NEW WEB-STORE! Browse both my old (Etsy) store and new store here!
This is page 4 (the final page) of my How to Make Paper Daffodils craft tutorial. This is for you if you're currently following my papercraft daffodil craft tutorial.
You know you're in the right place if you've now nearly finished your daffodil and all that remains to do is tidy up the stem of the flower and add the sepal to the point where the stem meets the flower head.
If you're not quite at this point, or if you want to find out more about the craft project, go back to this main project page and read about the project and what you'll need, or use the links to find out where in the process you're supposed to be.
If you would like to print these papercraft daffodil instructions, please use the 'Print' buttons on the page (top right of the page and at the bottom of the content).
This will create a print-friendly version for you and you can also deselect any parts of the page that you don't need to print.
You've come a long way, and yes, it is quite a long make - but you're nearly there - just a couple of final steps to go to tidy up the back of the daffodil so that you can use it in a vase to display at home...
You should now have a daffodil that looks pretty much complete, just a bit messy at the back - if you feel like you're not at that stage, check back here and find a better place for your stage of the make... I'll wait right here for you, so take as long as you need, there's no rush!
If you're ready to finish your papercraft daffodil flower, then we can start...
Let's start with the sepal - this is the tan 'onion-shaped' piece of card, that will form the little hood that fits on the back of the real-life daffodil flower - you can see it in the image below...
And that's a wrap! That's it - your daffodil is complete. Well done!!
Put it with the green leaves you cut from the template, and admire it, pop it in a vase and enjoy it!
Display your papercraft daffodil in a vase or glass jar - making a few paper daffodils will make your display far more effective. I've made six daffodils here (you can just see a yellow one hiding on the left, at the back).
As you make more daffodils, you will naturally get quicker and the process will take much less time. Promise!
I used cardstock of different colours here - partly to try out different colours to see how it looked, and also to give my display a bit of variety, as if I'd picked different daffodil varieties from my garden.
The daffodils that look white are made from a cream cardstock (with very pale yellow coloured pencil) and I also made some from various tones of yellow cardstock. My favourites were the pale yellows (and cream) and I also thought it looked better with an orange trumpet rather than a yellow one, but if you love your daffodils all yellow, go for it!
Adding the leaves into your vase or jar gives your display a bit of bulk to help them to stand up better - if you're cutting lots of different daffodils, perhaps try and vary your greens too, to make them look more natural.
I hope you enjoyed your daffodil craft project - and I hope that you continue to enjoy your papercrafted daffodils in your home, too!
