i hope it does not bore you too much to see all that paper flower tutorials in my blog recently.

this is what you need

- kraft paper

- pencil

- eraser (just in case)

- scissors

- glue stick

- glue

- template

this is what you have to do

- draw the outlines of the template onto the kraft paper

- try to add as many petals as possible onto one sheet of kraft paper

- cut out the petals

- get your first petal ready

- fold the petal into half

- open the petal again

- repeat with the remaining petals...i needed about 15 petals

- cut out a small circle

- apply some glue onto the oute edge of the circle

- adhere the first petal onto the the circle

- glue the second petal right next to the fold of the first petal

- halfway there

- continue until the entire circle is covered with petals

 

- cut out two small paper strips

- fold the beginning of the strip over

- turn the strip over fold it over again

- keep on folding back and forth

- an accordion folding should be the result

- repeat with the second strip of kraft paper

- get your scissors ready

- to shape the strip cut the paper at an angle

- glue both strips together

- form a wreath

- open the folded paper wreath

- hold he paper wreath down with a heavy something

- apply some glue in the centre of the flower

- add the wreath and press firmly onto the glue

- and that's it


a simple paper flower, which surely looks good on the giant paper flower backdrop
