Alt Paper Flowers
Alt Summit is an incredible conference for creatives that is held in Palm Springs California! With the location as my inspiration, I applied to complete an art installation for a stage backdrop. Turns out, I was too late. A few weeks later, someone had backed out, I got the email asking if I was still interested. The install was set! “Dessert Blooms” was ready to come to life!

What is the best cardstock for paper flowers?
My favorite type of paper to use for these rolled paper flowers is 90 lb cardstock. It's sturdy enough that it won't rip, but it's still flexible enough to make pretty flower petals. You can find suitable cardstock in 8.5″ by 11″ size sheets or 12″ by 12″ size sheets but my favorite size is poster size.
