Fun Crafts You Can Make with Crepe Paper Sheets

Super versatile and with tactile and auditory ASMR qualities, crepe paper is a fun and popular material used in arts and crafts. Paper in general is such versatile medium for the creation of art that there’s a wide range of art categories that primarily use paper as the only component required for the crafting process—origami, for example.

Crepe paper on its own is a variation of tissue paper that’s been coated with glue, gelatin, or starch and then added to a paper pulp to create the unique crinkling texture it’s known for. Crepe paper has many versatile properties that include durability, tensile strength and flexibility!

Due to its affordability, crepe paper is easily accessible and can be purchased in bulk. There’s a load of fun crafts ideas involving crepe paper that include jewelry, party decorations, and even home décor! We’re going to go over some fantastic ideas that only require minimal arts & crafts supplies in addition to crepe paper.

Flowers

Crepe paper flowers are perfect for home décor in that they can look just as striking without ever wilting!

Materials you’ll need:

• Scissors
• Wire
• Glues and adhesives

To make layered flowers, place two differently colored crepe sheets on top of one another and cut a strip out from the double-layering. Cut arches on one side to create a petal-like appearance. For the flower stem, take a folded wire and insert the folded end into a crumpled up ball of crepe paper. Take a square cut-out of another crepe sheet and wrap it on the ball using wire and spray with an adhesive to secure the structure in place. Take the strip of petals you previously created with the arched side outwards, and roll the other end around the stem, pinching it. Once that’s done, use wire to secure around the petals.

Sun Catchers

• Cardboard
• Scissors
• Glues and adhesives

Select a shape. It can be anything from a star to a heart. Cut your shape out from the cardboard, then from the middle, cut out more cardboard so you’re left with borders in your desired shape. Use multiple colored crepe paper sheets and create square or rectangular shaped strips of them using scissors. Use glue to then start sticking one end of the strips to the edges of the border in a way the other end reaches out into the space between the borders. Join paper to paper wherever necessary and you’re done!
