12 inch strips of paper-the strips can be any width,
those shown in the following steps are approximately 1 1/2 inches*also you can use decorative scissors and cut one side of the paper to give the flower a pretty border*
score the strip of paper every 1/4 inch
Now that you have scored the paper, simply fold the
first section forward, the next section backwards, and so-on down the
piece of paper until you have folded the entire strip.
glue the ends together and get a small circle or square or any little scrap paper you have lying around
Once you have glued the ends together, the folded circle will want to
pop-up and not lay down like a flower. To make it stay in place, you
will need to glue the finished piece to your sqaure or circle scrap paper.
it should look like this :)
ink the edges of the paper
to complete the flower you will want to add center embellishments.
add these to layouts, cards, gift tags, make a flower wreath...the possibilities are endless!
Happy Crafting :)
