Everyone loves flowers. Especially great big huge pretty flowers! Want to learn how to make huge paper flowers with your Silhouette® machine instead of by hand?
A few months ago someone shared this picture on Facebook and right away I was smitten and knew that someday I was going to make some big paper flowers of my own. Since the theme for this month’s Silhouette® Challenge is Summer I thought thought these big, pretty flowers fit the theme perfectly.
I pretty much followed this tutorial to assemble the flowers.
But instead of cutting out the petals and leaves by hand, I made my own Silhouette® cut files.
Stick around to the end to see how to get the free cut files that I made!
I used 8-1/2″ x 11″ card stock for my flowers.
Each extra large flower is made up of 6 large petals, 6 medium petals, and 6 small petals. You will need 12 sheets of 8-1/2″ x 11″ sheets of card stock for one huge flower. The flower measures approximately 15″ in diameter.
I secured my flower to a paper plate instead of a scrap of paper as in the tutorial. I can then add Command Strips to the plate for hanging.
I even made a cut file for the flower center. Why use scissors when you have a Silhouette®!
I added other flowers to the mix too. These daisies are in the Silhouette® Online Store.
I enlarged them quite a bit!
Helpful Hints:
- Keep the shapes grouped together when enlarging them to keep all of the pieces in scale.
- Take a screen shot of the design from the OnLine store then drag that image into the workspace for reference.
My chalkboard is ready for Summer! Now all we need is Summer weather!

Liz says
So fun! I don’t have a cutting machine… besides my scissors and hands 😉 but for a few flowers, I think I could manage. My granddaughters would love to help with these too… so cute for their rooms.

Beautiful! Paper flowers are near and dear to my heart and so much fun to design the templates. Your idea about using a paper plate for a more sturdy backing is wonderful!
Ashley ~ 3 Little Greenwoods says
Love-love-love these huge paper flowers! I can think of a hundred uses for them for LOTS of different things: photo ops, party decor, little girl bedroom decor! So much fun!

Jeanie! I looooove these! These are so incredibly cute. They are the perfect adornment for the chippy chalkboard; the wood and paper is such a beautiful mix. Thank you so much for linking these up to our Bewitchin’ Projects Block Party last week! You are one of my feature picks over at Recreated Designs this Sunday. Have a great weekend! Hugs, Lisa
LydiaF says
Those flowers are gorgeous! And they bring back a memory of my mother painstakingly cutting out flower shapes from card stock, then gluing them together and painting them. They were attached to a lampshade and used to decorate the bedroom my sister and I shared. Thanks for sharing with us at Creatively Crafty 🙂 Hope to see you again!
Susan says
Love giant flowers and would like to make a bunch. But I don’t seem to see the cut files for Silhouette?? Thank you!
Debbra says
I didn’t find them either 🙁
Charlotte says
Love your flowers!! Want to make some to decorate my office, is the cut file available? Thanks
Adrienne says
The flowers are beautiful but how do you get the cut files?
Manda says
Super cute! I will have to try sometime! Thanks for sharing!
Monica says
Pretty! I want to purchase this machine. But I wanted to know how to create my own cut files and Clicked on the link for the cut files you shared which came to my email as a Dropbox file but I was not able to view it. Any way you can email directly to me? And do you have a video on how I can create a cut file? I appreciate it.
Laura says
Thank you so much for sharing the silhouette file. I love how mine turned out and brightened up my office wall.
Annette says
Wow, beautiful flowers!
Daisy Russel says
These huge paper flowers are impressive!
Ashy says
Hello! Once cool, use a pencil to draw large hearts on the wax paper envelopes, and then cut out hearts. (I was surprised how easy it is to cut the wax paper with melted crayon inside.) Initially, I was going to trace prefect’s hearts, but I decided to freehand them and let my daughter cut them out.
lisa says
HelI have been looking for different paper flower crafts to make so I can put in some vases I have that my son and his family brought me flowers for my birthday and for mother’s day. These look so easy to make, I am going to try them and make a bouquet for one of my vases. Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial. I will let you know how mine turn out.allon4
