Giant Paper Flower Supplies | DIY

If you’ve ever seen those oversized paper flowers at events and thought “I could make that…” — you’re right. You just need the right supplies.

After making everything from 5-foot roses to full event backdrops, I’ve tested a lot. These are the exact Amazon supplies I keep coming back to because they actually work (and won’t make you want to quit halfway through).

How to Resize Your Canva Template for Larger Prints

If you're using my template and want to turn it into a larger piece, here’s exactly how to do it using Canva.

Option 1: Canva Pro

If you have Canva Pro, this is the easiest method.

1. Open the template in Canva

2. Click “Resize” in the top menu

3. Enter your desired dimensions (for example: 24” x 36” or 36” x 48”)

4. Click “Copy & Resize”

Canva will automatically scale your design for you.

Option 2: Print as a Large Template (Free Method)

1. Open the template in Canva

2. Click Share → Download → PDF Print

3. Open the PDF on your computer

4. When printing, select:

   • “Poster” or “Tile” (this setting splits your design across multiple pages)

   • Adjust the scale (ex: 200%, 300%, etc. depending on how large you want it)

5. Print your pages and tape them together to create a full-size template

From there, you can trace it onto card stock and cut it out to use as your template!

For most large DIY projects (like 3–5 ft cutouts), the tile print method is the easiest and most affordable option—no large printer required.
