Puffy Flowers

Today’s tutorial is going to show you how to make these pretty little flowers.  They remind me of carnations when they are done.

Products Used:
Summer Funk by Wendy Page Designs
Clover Box template by Kelleigh Ratzlaff Designs

Supplies needed:

Paper

Paper Piercer

Brad

Scallop Punch or Circle Punch

Step One: Punch ten (10) scalloped circles from the patterned paper of your choice.

Step Two: Crinkle each scalloped circle until they are tightly packed.

Step Three: Unfold each scalloped circle.

Step Four: Stack each circle on top of each other, then pierce the center with a paper piercer. Be sure to pierce all the way through the bottom of the circle stack.

Step Five: Stick a brad through each layer, and secure the brad of the bottom.

Step Six: Fold each layer up tightly one layer at a time. Be sure to get the first layer super-tight as seen below.

Step Seven: Continue folding the layers until they look like this. Then starting with the bottom circle, unfold each layer loosely to create your flower blossom.

When you are finished with your flower, adhere to your project. In my case, I put it on top of my clover box. Cute, huh?

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope to see some “puffy flowers” out there soon.

  12. Christy on Wednesday 7, 2010

    Hi Gabby, for the flower I used matte photo paper. It really makes the color stand out and it’s thin enough to make the flowers.
