How to Make a Paper Calla Lily | Easy DIY Flowers | Book Page Craft Tutorial | Wedding Bouquet

This step-by-step tutorial shows you how to make gorgeous Calla Lily flowers using pages from an old book, some wire, and other basic supplies.
A bouquet of these wire-stemmed lilies would look wonderful in the home, but could also be given as a Valentine's Day or Mother's Day gift, or used as a wedding bouquet (that can then be kept forever as a keepsake).

Love this tutorial. Had never seen a paper book page Lily and I think it's a beautiful thank you😊 New subscriber

[@RokoleeDIY]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@mikedorsey7119]

Does anyone else get caught up trying to read the pages as fast as you can when they're up to try to figure out what book it's from before you realize you'd forgotten you have add really bad forcing you to rewind to catch back up? Or is it just me? Love the video by the way I'm learning this for my wife it's her favorite flower.

[@RokoleeDIY]

That's a sweet idea:) Thanks for watching!

[@RokoleeDIY]

Thank you so much :D Glad you like them

[@lorraineaylward8167]

THANK YOU!!! I made about 20 paper roses and gave them wire stems. I have struggled to put paper around the wire. This is the best demonstration of how to do this. I will not give up in frustration, but try it your way

[@RokoleeDIY]

Thank you :D I'm glad it was useful!

[@ruthtrefethen4171]

Thank you for sharing. A great tutorial. Loved it.

[@RokoleeDIY]

Thanks very much :)

[@talkinginpublic]

Thanks for a great tutorial. I found when rolling the square for the stamen, using a bamboo skewer (or toothpick for small ones) made this task less fiddly and gives a good tight roll.

[@RokoleeDIY]

Good tip! Thanks for your comment :)

Do you have a template for this? I've been trying to make some for my wedding but I can't honestly get the fit right. They always look lopsided with one side bigger than the other and off center.

[@RokoleeDIY]

Hi! Sorry you're having trouble but unfortunately I don't have a template for the shape. Even though it's a raindrop shape, it's really closer to a circle shape with a pointy bit on one side. Try and make the body of it bulbous and symmetrical - maybe use a compass to draw an initial circle shape and go from there? It took me a bit of experimenting with scrap pieces of paper to get there. Congrats on the wedding btw :)

[@Ziggles]

Thank you so much and for your reply! I will definitely try it and see what I can do. Great job on the tutorial as well.

[@MEZafiro]

Not crazy abiut the stem look but flower looks pretty

[@narasimhamurthy7473]

can we use news paper

[@RokoleeDIY]

Hi! Newspaper might be too thin and flimsy to hold its shape very well I think, so I would maybe glue 2 pieces of newspaper together before I used it. Thanks for watching :)

[@narasimhamurthy7473]

Rokolee DIY thanks a lot ☺😀😃

[@narasimhamurthy7473]

Rokolee DIY can we use something else for the wire for this one

[@theartangel5468]

But a question can i put paper stem

[@RokoleeDIY]

If you rolled paper tightly enough you could use that as a stem, it just won't be as strong as wire :)

[@theartangel5468]

I made this calla lily with normal paper it was really nice i wish i can send you the pic

[@RokoleeDIY]

Excellent :) I'm glad it turned out well

[@montisinha9502]

Thanks for your lovely video but you directly use only paper, not use iron becz you have using only paper so made by news paper

[@evantunribali5605]

why is my flowers so small

[@RokoleeDIY]

You may need a bigger book :)
