Flowers are everywhere here- at the farms, markets, in our neighborhood, and on the trails! My girls, especially my youngest Stella, love picking wildflowers, so I thought making a printable flower wrap would be a sweet idea for wrapping bouquets as a pretty presentation for gift giving.  

Scroll down to download and print the floral print wrapping paper!

Fresh picked flowers from the market always brighten my day! 

If you don’t have flower markets or wildflowers near you, I recommend Trader Joe’s!

They have a beautiful selection of fresh flowers year round for great prices!

Our favorite local florist has an adorable flower truck they bring to events to make your own bouquets!

Check them out:  Eden’s Flower Truck .

Stella’s school has the most vibrant and thriving flower garden around!

“A flower does not think of competing with the flower next to it. It just blooms.” – Zen Shin

Start by printing out the floral paper on a full 8×11 sheet. 

Roll the paper into a tight cone and tape on the sides to secure. 

Trim the bouquet and add directly to the paper wrapped or to keep fresh longer you can wrap the bottom

of the flower bouquet in a damp paper towel then add to a baggie and secure with a rubber band. 

Wildflowers, store bought flowers, and even creative wood, feather, and pretty fillers all look lovely! 

Such a pretty presentation for a gift or decor! 

I love summer flowers, don’t you?

Mother’s Day is this Sunday and one of my favorite gifts from my girls has always been fresh picked flowers.

So I designed these printable flower wrappers as a cute gift idea for Mother’s Day (or any day you want to give flowers, really).

Make your spring flowers extra special with these pretty Mother’s Day themed flower bouquet wrappers. 

Choose from three floral designs and give Mom a one of a kind gift to celebrate her!

I love how cute these simple bouquets are in the printed wrappers!

My pretty girls with their pretty flowers for Mama!

Start by printing out the paper design you want. There are three available to download below.

I couldn’t choose a favorite so I included three designs including one that is just simple floral designs for any time.

Roll the paper into a tight cone and tape on the sides to secure. 

You can make it as thin or as wide as you want to depending on how many flowers you want to add.

You can trim flowers and add directly to the wrappers.

Or to keep fresh longer you can wrap the bottom of the flower bouquet in a damp paper towel then add to a baggie and secure with a rubber band. 

Store bought roses look beautiful too! My favorite are these orange and peach spray roses.

Adorable and ready for gift giving! Hope you enjoy this thoughtful gift idea this Mother’s Day.

Download your flower wrappers below!

There are three different designs available to download and print for free.

Two are Mother’s Day themed with text and one is a simple floral design for anytime you want to gift flowers!

What you need:

• 10 single multi colored silk flowers 
• 10 ball point pens {choose a brand with removable bottoms}
• 1 roll green floral tape
• Hot glue
• flower pots or jars
• small colored stones/beads
• paint/stickers/glitter, optional 

Directions:

1. Remove the cap and the plastic cap from both ends of the pen.  
2. Save the pen cap, but discard the plastic end piece.  Sometimes you can pry the end cap off or cut it off with a pair of scissors. 
3. Wrap sticky floral tape from the top of the pen all the way down to the writing point of the pen, then replace the pen’s cap.
4. Add a large dot of hot glue to the top of the pen, where the plastic end cap used to be.  
5. Stick the artificial flower, with the long stem removed, into the pen and press to secure. 
6. Add colored stones to a jar or flower pot and place 4-5 flower pens in the jar, flower side up.
7. Optional: you can paint and decorate the terra cotta flower pots for another crafty touch before giving as a gift!

We used acrylic paint and added painters tape and vinyl stickers to make shapes and words.
