Making rolled flowers is a great way to add some extra wow to your projects. You can customize the size and colors to match your project. Here are a few tips you'll find in this video:

  • Mixing and matching papers and sizes makes for a full and interesting bouquet when you group these together. 
  • When adhering the rolled flowers, I like to use hot glue to adhere them and I place a dab on the base circle and a dab on the last rolled part to hold it all together securely. When using hot glue you can place your glue on the circle and then let the flower go a bit if you want a looser flower. 
  • If your paper is stiff and hard to shape, try using your heat tool to heat up the paper a bit and it will be more pliable and easy to shape. 
  • If you'd like a fuller flower, look for an SVG design that has extra petals included that can be added around the outside edge of the flower. My favorite is Cricut Design Space flower #mfgfb53.

Here are the Cricut Design Space files used: 

  • #m295b4e3 - These are the swirls. They are a great shape and easy to roll.
  • #m295b547 - This is a shaped flower.
  • #mfgfb53 - This is the flower with the extra petals. I'm absolutely in love with this one.

    Thank you, 12 × 12 for your response. DS #MFFFB53C will work and appears to be very similar. Thanks again!

    Alice and MW – I just checked as well and cannot find #mfgfb53 either. This post is two years old and the file may just be gone from Design Space. But #MFFFB53C looks similar.

    When searching for the others please use the # in front of the number and they will come up.

    Michelle, Please try to search for #mfgfb53 in Design Space. I’ve tried several times and the search returns no results. Sorry to repeat my request, but I really like your Paper Flower project and would like that 3rd flower SVG/image.

    M W – I found the first 2 designs on Cricut Design Space. Try again and don’t forget the # sign in front. Hope this helps.

    I also can not find Cricut Design Space file #mfgfb53. Since you say it is your favorite, could you please respond with the correct file #? Thank you in advance for your assistance.
