Paper Flower Tutorial

As you may have already noticed, I am a sucker for flowers and most, not all my layouts have a smattering of flowers on them. I am always looking for new flowers and new ways to make flowers using my basic stash supply.

Please note :I am not claiming originality on this at all, I am sure these have been done before, but here is my way of making them.

Firstly go gather that circle scallop punch, some light weight pattern paper, I used Jenni Bowlin, some brads, buttons, adhesive and some twine of embroidery floss!

Punch 5 circles

Layer them and make a hole

and add a brad.

Now start scrunching each layer

until all the layers are scrunched up like this.

Now unravel each layer
dah dahhh, you have a cute ruffled paper flower.

Add a button or just leave with a brad

I have been making lots for upcoming projects, so easy to do sat infront of the TV of a night!

You can now jazz up your flower with glitter and ink if you wish, and why not try old newspapers and book pages.

Here is a layout I did of Lilly, using my paper flowers, how pretty do these flowers looked grouped on a page;
