The first foxglove I made was for a bouquet.

I had originally sought to use it to elongate the shape of the bouquet. But it refused to be just a structural piece. It became the star of that bouquet. I promise you that with a little patience and an afternoon free of distractions you’ll make a foxglove worthy of your paper arrangements and garden. In this course, you will learn how I make realistic-looking foxgloves (Digitalis purpurea) at your own time and pace. I first teach you the basics of how I make my ‘Dalmatian White’ from template to assembly. Then, I’ll show you how I make 2 other variations using this general formula, the ‘Camelot Rose’ foxglove and the ‘Apricot Beauty’ foxglove.

FAQ

  • What type of tools & materials do you use in this course?

    I use mainly crepe paper as my main medium, which you can purchase online at various suppliers. My favourite suppliers are listed in the Toolbox section. I also use stem wires and sometimes floral tape which can be purchased at floral supply wholesalers, baking/cake supply stores and even big box stores like Michaels and Joanns. Everything else can be easily purchased from art or craft stores, online, or you likely have them at home. For most materials, I provide direct links to where you can buy them inside the course.

  • When does the course start and finish?

    The course starts now and never ends! It is a completely self-paced online course - you decide when you start and when you finish.

  • How long do I have access to the course?

    The short answer - Forever. The long answer - You’ll have access to the course videos and content forever as long as Crafted to Bloom exists, even if the online course platform changes.

  • Do you offer any refunds or guarantees?

    Unfortunately, due to the nature of digital products, I cannot offer a refund. That said, I just know that you'll learn something! I design every one of my flower online course so that I can share new and fresh techniques with you. I hate repeating myself.

  • I’ve never tried making paper flowers. Is this for me?

    Absolutely - this course is perfect for anyone who wants to learn. This course provides step-by-step lectures with me guiding you at each step through video instruction. You get to watch me demonstrate various steps up-close while I thoroughly explain every action I take. You’ll have access to the templates that I use - no need to free-hand cut anything! If you didn’t catch something - anything - the first time, you can watch and re-watch the videos. I’m confident that you will create a gorgeous flower that resembles my foxgloves by the end of the course. That said, I do recommend that you also take my "Easy" online courses so you can familiarize yourself with some of the basic skills and techniques without feeling overwhelmed with the skills and techniques taught in these more advanced courses.

  • I'm an experienced paper floral artist. Would I still benefit from this course?

    I don’t know about you, but I absolutely LOVE to watch other seasoned paper florists work and create. I always learn new tricks or new ways of doing something. It’s amazing how everyone does things differently. I’m confident that you’ll learn something new from my course too. I hate repeating myself.

  • Can I sell the flower I make from this online course?

    Yes, you’re welcome to make this flower and sell it. All I ask is if someone, like a customer, ask you how you learned to make the flower, that you could acknowledge that you learned it from me and give credit where it is due.

  • Can I teach this flower to other people?

    If you know someone who would like to learn how to make this paper flower, I would ask you to encourage them to sign up for this course. Please do not share the access information with third parties. You paid for access to it, and so should they. I’ve put in a lot of effort to designing this course and the intellectual property connected to this course, the materials, and the techniques are mine. Similarly, you are absolutely not permitted to teach this paper flower for monetary gain without expressed written permission from me. If you are interested in re-teaching this paper flower I do offer licensing options. Read more about this in the Terms & Conditions page: https://www.craftedtobloom.com/pages/terms
