"Can you believe this is made of paper? Did you know paper flowers have evolved this much...?"

The Evolution of Paper Flowers Never Stops ♡

The technique of making flowers from paper, known as "paper flowers," has existed for a long time, but

recently, it has evolved remarkably, to a quality that is often mistaken for real flowers, much more than you might imagine!

For example, take a look at this poppy flower.

And also this one.

This anemone and bud as well!

All of these flowers are made from paper ♡

It's surprising, isn't it…!

How Are They Made?

Paper flowers were traditionally made using thick paper like construction paper, but recently various kinds of paper, such as washi and handmade paper, are used to express a more realistic flower texture.

Instead of just using smooth paper, by incorporating rough, textured paper, they can closely resemble real flower petals.

In the past, flowers were often simply designed with vague images like "pink flowers with many petals" or "large yellow flowers,"

but today's paper flowers are so realistic that you can even distinguish different flower varieties.

The quality is high ♡

I Might Get Hooked on Paper Flowers…!

I never thought "how cute" about paper flowers before, but the more I see the recent paper flowers, the more I think they are delicate and lovely ♡

(Real flowers wilt, but paper flowers don’t, and they look thinner, more delicate, and cuter than artificial flowers＊)

It seems really challenging to make them by hand, but choosing paper, cutting, and sticking them together… I feel like I might get hooked after trying it once.

For brides who think, "handmade is..." you can also purchase them from overseas handmade shopping sites like "Etsy," so take a look! ♡
