Cricut South Africa has officially been crowned the Guiness World Record holder for creating the world’s largest display of rolled paper flowers. The Cricut team needed to create at least 1,001 paper flowers to beat the previous existing record, and they exceeded this goal significantly with a total of 6,696 intricate paper blooms using Cricut cutting machines.
The record, which was officially verified by the Guinness World Records team, was achieved on 5 May 2024 at the Hobby-X exhibition that took place in Johannesburg, with the Cricut Team, Cricut ambassadors, members as well as the public all pitching in to nab the record title.
Martin Kruger, Director of Sales and Marketing for Cricut’s Middle East, Turkey and Africa regions, says, “Cricut is a community brand, and this was a brilliant platform for us to get everyone that shares the love and passion for Cricut to unite and achieve something spectacular. It was also loads of fun, and all the more rewarding now that we hold an official World Record title.”
The result is a 3.5m x 6m rolled paper flower display wall in a vibrant array of colours proudly surrounding the Cricut name.
