Help CBCA celebrate the vast network of Colorado’s Arts and Business partners! 

By Lindsey Bell, CBCA Program and Events Coordinator

Each centerpiece at the 2025 Business for the Arts Awards bouquet will consist of a mix of paper flowers from organizations, individuals, and businesses, all coming together in a communal display of the diversity of our partners around the state.

We need you to be a part of the bouquet! You can make these paper flowers individually, or together with your organization. We are aiming to have over 800 paper flowers made by folks from around the state! All flowers will go into creating mixed bouquets for our 70 centerpieces at the Business for the Arts Awards Luncheon.

Materials/Requirements:

Flowers should range in size from 4-8 inches in diameter and be crafted from tissue paper, coffee filters, cupcake baking cups and/or crepe paper. The stems should be 12 inches long using wire or pipe cleaners.

How do we make the flowers?

Making paper flowers is easy! Check out these videos and tutorials for inspiration, easy tissue paper flower video tutorial HERE and try making flowers using coffee filters and watercolors HERE. There are endless videos and tutorials on Pinterest or YouTube. We’d love to see your creativity come through, but don’t worry, these do not need to be elaborate.
