Making Paper Orchids: The How-To

Last week, I posted some photos of paper orchids I designed for an engagement shoot. I had several friends ask me how I made them, so I thought I would put the patterns into Illustrator, and share them with you. You are welcome to download, and make your own paper orchids using my patterns for the following:


Phalaenopsis:

A Cymbidium:

Oncidiums:

If you have any questions, or need any further help, please feel free to ask! I hope these documents help and encourage you to make your own lovely bouquet of paper orchids! Have a happy Friday!

  1. Awesome! Thanks for sharing the how-to. I saw your first post about them the other day and loved the idea. My dad is a horticulturist and his specialty is orchids, so I've grown up loving them. And this has got to be the coolest orchid decoration I've seen (short of the real thing). :)
