I love paper…but, sometimes it seems like I collect it more then use it. Especially when I buy huge paper packs that I can not resist! So Paper Flowers Made Easy is the perfect solution!
Here’s how to make your own:
Steps One, Two, Three:
Pick out your papers and die cut them or cut them into approximately 2 inch – 4 inch circles with a decorative scissor.
Fold each circle, wrong sides together, in half.
Then fold into quarters.
Steps Four, Five, Six:
Then, fold into eighths.
Layer 12 – 18 circles on top of each other and pierce a hole in the middle.
Place a brad through the hoe in the circles and close on the back.
Steps Seven, Eight, Nine:
Starting with the top layer, fold and crumple the circles.
Repeat for all of the layers.
Slowly unfold each layer one at a time starting with the outside layer until flower is as desired.
