Paper Flower Technique Tutorial

 

I love these paper flowers and think they add a great dimension to many craft projects. 

They are pretty simple to put together, 

Here is a step-by-step picture tutorial.

 

 

 

Choose your Card stock and Scallop Circle Punch.

 

Punch 8 Scallop Circles out.

Lightly Mist the card stock with water, 

I don't wet Whisper White because it is a bit thinner than our colored card stock. You can try without water, I just like the the texture and look of the flower after it dries. 

Experiment and see what you come up with.

Crumple each scallop circle.

Un-crumple each scallop circle.

                                                                         

                                                                                                                                                                 
Stack each circle on top of each other.

Use your Paper Piercer and Mat Pack and pierce a hole in the middle of the stack and place a brad in the middle to hold the scallop circles together.

Crumple the scallop circles upwards towards the brad.

 

If they are a little damp let dry and lightly separate and move outwards.

Voila! A cute paper flower.

 Now add to your Project

I hope you can see that all 3 flowers have a bit different texture. The blue had more water than the red and the white had no water.

This tutorial is based on using Stampin' Up! Card Stock

I have used lighter weight paper and card stock the only difference is you will need more than 8 circles to get the fullness you desire. If you are using thin paper no need to lightly mist,

Thinner paper will fall apart or tear when you try to un-crumple. 

So it's best if you just crumple the paper.

If you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me or comment below.

Hope this helps

 I would love to see what you come up with.
