Learn how to make a beautiful paper flower backdrop for photos and parties from start to finish! Like you, I love all the paper flower wall decorations as party decor we've been seeing lately. Weddings, proms, even events like the Met Gala have had a floral backdrop! But if you don't have the budget to rent one (they can cost $1,000+!), I'm here to help you. I'll show you how to make your own paper flower backdrop! I have lots of fun paper flower designs to show you, as well as planning and building skills!
And before you say, "Jennifer, I don't really need a flower backdrop!" remember that you can always adjust my projects to fit you and your needs! Even just two of these panels make a real home decor impact. You can use my planning and assembly tips to go as big or as small as you like. But really, if you don't have a party to plan, if you want to make a DIY paper flower backdrop, do it. Craft it just for fun and then have a fabulous photo shoot with your beautiful backdrop!
