Another Paper Flower Tutorial

Whilst I am having some time off work, I have dragged out that box of older paper lines that I don't use anymore and have been playing, hence the flower tutorials at the moment!

Today I am showing you how to make the simple , but Oh so effective, fringed flower; reminds me of a Chrysanthemum.


Go grab a large circle punch, some light weight papers; I used Chatterbox, brads, buttons, scissors, and a poky tool!


Punch 5 circles




and make a hole with your poky tool, to add a brad




Grab your scissors and cut to the brad at 4 equal distances, ie : 12'0clock, 3'0clock, 6'0 clock and 9'0clock!

Now cut all the way round to the brad, until you have this




Grab the fringe and lightly gather and spruce,a bit like massaging a head of hair, LOL





Now add a button or bead.




I made a simple card and used a small flower. I will add a sentiment at a later date. I used my small scallop circle for this fringe flower.







Supplies : Chatterbox papers, Martha Stewart punch, scallop circle punch, brad, glass bead, Papermania card blank

I hope you enjoyed this simple paper flower tutorial, I look forward to seeing your flowers.

Thanks for stopping by
