Craft berry bush has a wonderful tutorial on how to make anemone flowers from crepe paper. I've been fascinated lately by paper flowers and really want to tackle some of these techniques.
If you want even more instruction, there's great slide show tutorial at Martha Stewart specifically dealing with crepe paper flowers.
Shown here top to bottom are a tulip, a peony, a lily and a rose.
You'll find downloadble PDF templates for each blossom so you can print, trace, cut and assemble.
Here's a link to the crepepaperstore.com that carries quality, Italian made papers in lovely pastel colors.
