This printable bouquet craft works beautifully as a Valentine’s Day gift, Mother’s Day present, or a special surprise for birthdays, thank-you gifts, or classroom celebrations.
Why This Paper Flower Bouquet Craft Works Well
This bouquet craft supports multiple areas of child development:
- Fine motor skills through cutting and folding

What’s Included in This Printable Craft
This paper flower bouquet template set includes:
- Foldable bouquet base template
- Five rose flower templates in pink and red
- Decorative ribbon template
- Clean outlines for easy cutting
All elements are designed to fit together neatly and hold their shape once assembled.
Materials You’ll Need
For best results, we recommend:
- Cardstock or thick paper (200gsm)
- Scissors
- Stick glue (solid glue stick)
Using thicker paper is essential for keeping the bouquet upright and durable.
Why 200gsm Paper Is Recommended
This craft is designed for 200gsm cardstock because:
- The bouquet base needs structure to stand
- Flowers hold their shape better
- The finished bouquet feels more gift-like
- Thin paper may bend or collapse
Printing on cardstock creates a stronger and longer-lasting result.
How to Make the Paper Flower Bouquet
- Print the templates on 200gsm paper
- Cut out the bouquet base, flowers, and ribbon
- Fold the bouquet base along the indicated lines
- Assemble and secure the base using stick glue
- Attach the roses to the bouquet
- Finish by adding the paper ribbon
Younger children may need help with folding and positioning the flowers.
How to Use the Finished Bouquet
Once complete, the bouquet can be used as:
- A Valentine’s Day gift
- A Mother’s Day handmade present
