Beautiful Flowers You Can Make with Cricut

June 24, 2020 by Janine

We love making flowers with our Cricut machines. You can use all kinds of materials, but we’ve found that we get the best results from paper, cardstock, or felt. They’re perfect for creating three-dimensional flowers that hold their shape well.

Because we love these projects so much, we’ve rounded up these Beautiful Flowers You Can Make with Cricut from here on Makers Gonna Learn and around the web. You can make bouquets, boutonnieres, and centerpieces for weddings.

Make garlands and cake decorations for birthday parties. Or how about some adorable decorations for a child’s room? A bouquet of flowers or throw cushion embellished with flowers could be just what you need to perk up the decor in your home.
