There are several paper craft ideas. In this article we will take a closer look at 5 paper flower craft ideas you can easily make to decorate your home. Paper flowers and home decor seem to go together very well. Let us face it fresh flowers can be expensive especially if you enjoy having a beautiful bouquet or even two in the house at all times.

Flowers can liven up any room and put a smile on almost everyone's face. Most people think of a vase full of flowers sitting on the dining room table or the coffee table but there is so much more you can do with flowers. So let us look at 5 paper flower craft ideas.

· The basic centerpiece, this is the centerpiece you are probably most familiar with, the one described above. When you create paper flowers you are not limited to a "traditional" centerpiece of roses, tulips or even an assortment of two or three flowers. The season does not matter either nor does the color of the flowers. When you make your own paper flower centerpiece you can have any flower in any color you want. For example if your two favorite flowers are roses and carnations you can make your centerpiece using both of those flowers in any color you like.

· You can also create flower arrangements that are free flowing and do not go in a vase. You can create strands of flowers to hang around your doorways or simply arrange them in the center of the coffee table with a candle in the middle. With free flowing arrangements you just need to make sure when you attach them to the floral wire or string that all the flowers are facing the same way and right side up! That one upside down flower can throw your whole arrangement off.

· Windowsill boxes full of colorful paper flowers are another great way to decorate your home. You can place the windowsill boxes in any window. The boxes are not just for the sunny kitchen windows when you are working with paper flowers. You can set a box next to the door in the foyer if you like, as well as on your front porch or on your back patio.

· Hanging baskets filled with paper flowers that have a stand or two of flowers are also very attractive. Just be sure the flowing flowers are facing outward not towards the wall. You can make one or two strands or as many as you like.

· If you spend a lot of time in one area of the house such as a home office an arrangement or two can really liven up the room. Consider a strand of flowers above your desk area or on top of your bookcase or filing cabinet. We all get stressed sometime while working and flowers have a nice way of reminding us of the beauty outside our four walls.

These 5 paper flower craft ideas are only a few of the ways you can brighten up your home. With a little imagination you can create an entire garden inside your home if you wanted too.
