Welcome back to JoyBlooms! Today, we are channeling a major pop culture moment and turning it into a botanical beauty. 🌸✨
With rumors swirling about Harry Styles’ residency at Madison Square Garden, I was inspired to revisit one of his most iconic fashion moments: The 2019 Met Gala. That sheer black ruffled blouse, the high-waisted trousers, and that pearl earring—it was the perfect recipe for a dramatic, elegant paper flower.
In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through my entire creative process. We aren't just cutting paper; we are making it from scratch! I’ll show you how I hand-dyed lace tissue paper to get that perfect "sheer fabric" texture, how to create sturdy leaves using a "sandwich" method with wire, and my secret weapon for adding a metallic sheen (hint: it’s from my makeup bag!).
In this video, you will learn:
How to dye and texture tissue paper for a custom look.
Techniques for creating "ruffled" petals to mimic fabric.
How to build a flower center using a bottle cap and pearl.
Tips for using Mod Podge to create leather-like leaves.
Whether you are a huge Harry Styles fan or just love learning new paper crafting techniques, I hope this project ignites your creativity!
