We chatted with paper artist Sara Kim about how she turned her love of crafting into a business.

One of the rare, agreed-upon universal truths is that flowers are exquisite beings, and ordinarily, in the presence of such extraordinary beauty, the expected reaction is as follows: to marvel at it, to memorialize it, to smell it. And that’s exactly what happens when most encounter Sara Kim’s flowers, except that hers…are made out of paper. It’s a testament to her craft — exacting paper-manipulating skills that she’s meticulously honed for well over a decade.

She offers the ranunculus as an example — it’s her favorite flower to make, and in her opinion, the most realistic. Her technique: She prints and then cuts a very intricate illustration — a pattern that consists of little lines that she designed specifically for the petals — through her Cricut, and when assembled, the effect is a color gradient that mimics that of an actual ranunculus.

The second iteration of her business was transitioning into fabric flowers, purely so she could charge more for the same amount of work. She launched a wedding line, creating silk flowers and fashioning them into headbands or hair accessories, or sewing them onto veils. Paper flowers still had a presence — but they were more wallflowers, serving as a wedding backdrop, rather than centerpieces.
