Paper Flowers

Handmade flowers are everywhere, on layouts, cards, clothes, worn as accessories. Whether you're making them with paper, fabric, coffee filters or old napkins (I'll teach you those at a different time) they always look great and can be coordinated to anything you may be working on. I'll be showing you one technique for making paper flowers that is super easy and super fast to do, lets get started...

Supplies:
-Various pattern papers
-various sized circle punches or circle cutters
-edge distresser
-adhesive
-buttons, ribbon, gems, stickers- anything you could use for the center of your flower
Step 1: punch circles in various sizes

Step 2: distress the edges, crumple up the circles, rip the edges a bit- anything goes!

Step 3: Layer and adhere the circles together
Step 4: Add something, again anything goes if you like it. I have used a button, a gem and a sticker for my centers. Once you do this you're done. See how easy that was. Below is a layout I made recently using this technique.


Enjoy & have fun!
