Flowers on friday #14....June 25

Post by Kimandasmo »

This week we are doing a bit of a dimensional flower.

You will need to start with 4( I only show 3 because after I finished I realized I really needed another set) pieces of paper 6 inches by 2 inches.Image

Then you are going to cut these into triangles....I do mine like this
Image Lining up opposite corners on the cutting edge then cutting. You will end up with 8 triangles
Image.

Starting at the wide end of your triangles you are going to roll them up....
ImageImage
keeping rolling until you get to the last 1/2 inch or so...then apply adhesive...I prefer liquid

Image and then roll the rest of the way.Image I put mine in a clip to dry..like this.ImageThat way I can roll the next ones while they dry and not have to hold each one.

Cut/punch a scrap piece of paper..this will be the base to adhere all your petals to
Image add adhesive and adhere your petals Image

then top with your choice of flower center, add some leaves, bling, swirls whatever your heart desires. I added a large circle to the top of mine.

Image

Here is the completed page I used mine on.

give it a try...I would love to see what you can do with this...and if you do post to this thread by next Thursday, July 2 at midnight...OMG( cant believe it will be JULY!......) and you will be eligible for some random points!

Cute!!!


I always mean to do these, but so far the only one I have done is the crepe paper flower. I absolutely LOVE that one and have made bunches so that I have a stash on hand :-D

These seem very versatile. They could probably be strung on a string like beads for.... something. They made a great sun on your LO. Thanks for the instructions.
