Cliff Notes:
- Which paper? Any card stock seems to work just fine. There are specialty papers that make much prettier flowers, but to start - grab a pack of card stock on sale. Recollections paper from Michaels seems to be a favorite. For the smaller flowers, anything over 65lbs seems to be a lot harder to roll.
- How much paper? A LOT. The large paper flowers look best when really full - lots of layers. Exactly how many sheets will depend on exact size and design.
- Tip - just cut the petals by hand. As much as we all love that cricut, unless it's a fancy petal, cutting by hand is SO much faster. Use cricut for the centers and leaves and fancy cuts, and to cut templates.

Dahlia Style Templates
Template and instructions for giant paper dahlias
"Start with cutting out 40—4.5 inch squares and 15—4 inch squares. It’s important to note that the final count of squares used will vary for everyone, but the above count is a good starting place." You'll also need an 8 inch circle.
