Paper Flower Tutorial

 To create this paper flower, begin by punching out 8- 1.5" circles.

 Fold in half.

 Fold about 1/3 in. Now, keep in mind which side you fold in first because you'll want to fold the same way with each petal.

 Flip over and line up edges making a pie shaped wedge.

 Flip back to other side and fold the little flap into the pie wedge.

 Ta-dah! Now make 7 more.

 Adhere to a 1.5" circle using your choice of adhesive. I use double stick tape.

Here's another cute and easy paper flower.

Start out with 7-1" circles of double-sided pattern paper. Try to avoid the glitter and/or thicker cardstock.

 Fold approximately 1/3 in.

 Fold other side in making a pie shaped wedge. As you make these, make sure you stay consistent with which side you fold first. I just got in the habit of always starting with the left side. This way, all your petals will lay the same way giving you a neat pinwheel effect.

 Adhere your petals to a 1.5" circle. If your petals don't quite seem to fit together don't worry. This is the step to make adjustments as needed. I've found it helpful sometimes to leave a tiny space in the center for the brad and to also provide some allowance when adhering the petals.

 Here's one using 3/4" circles. So cute!

I prefer to use a paper piercing tool to make the hole for the brad.
