Intrigued by paper flowers but just not sure what to make with them? I’ve got the project for you! This framed unicorn showcases paper flowers beautifully, and looks super cute to boot. Personalize it with a name and you’ve got a wonderful piece of decor or a lovely gift.
To make this project, you need a shadow box, which is a frame that is deep enough for you to put the flowers into without being squished. The one I am using is eleven by fourteen inches, and I’ll put the link to it below this video.
To make the paper flowers, you need 65 or 80 lb. cardstock in whatever colors you want. You’ll also need a glue gun and glue sticks, and I also recommend finger protectors to avoid getting burned.
The unicorn design inside the shadow box is made with permanent vinyl in a variety of colors. So you’ll also want some transfer tape and a weeding tool.
Finally, you just need a sheet of foamcore to apply your vinyl and paper flowers to — this also becomes the backing of your shadowbox.
So let me show you where to get my paper flower and unicorn designs, and then how to make the flowers and use them to create this personalized shadowbox.
