We always love the challenge of creating a brand-new bloom — and helping you learn how to make it! This flower typically grows as a dense shrub and the blooms range in color from rose to white with unique purple markings. For our crepe paper mountain laurels, Meagan used our double-sided in white for the petals and added the purple details with a brush marker in merlot. 

Another reason to make these flowers out of crepe paper is that they are toxic to humans and a variety of animals, including cats and dogs. When you're done crafting your crepe paper mountain laurels, you can stick them in a vase and enjoy them year-round. Or you can also turn them into a potted plant — just add some more leaves to the stem to fill it out a bit.

Crafting tip: Since the petals are all glued together and connected on each side, we recommend assembling the petals and flower before the glue completely hardens to get the best flower shape.
