These paper pansies are super eye-catching and easy to make. They are fun paper flowers that will add a little extra to any craft project.

Pansies are so cute in the real world I can’t believe it has taken me this long to make a paper pansy as part of my crafts collection.

While they are not as fancy looking as some of the more voluminous flowers with layers upon layers of petals. What it lacks in fuss, it makes up for in cuteness.

They are super simple to make as well with minimum curling and assembly required. They are great if you need to add multiple flowers to a bigger craft projects and don’t have time to assemble a flower with a ton of different pieces.

Tutorial for Paper Pansy

Step 1: Cut out the petal layers using the template

I always like cutting paper flower templates on a fresh light grip blue mat. I find the standard mat a little too sticky for clean up although for this design, there are not a ton of scraps to clean up.

Step 2: Curl the petals

I do a gentle with a softer straight edge for these petals. No need to make a super aggressive curl with this flower.

Step 3: Glue the petal layers together

I like to glue the stamen pieces on the petals first and then layer on the petals together.

That’s it’!
