How to make paper flowers

You will need a 2" Six Petal Punch, Tacky PVA Glue and a cocktail stick.

Punch out 3 flowers from your chosen paper.

With the first flower, cut in between 2 of the petals to the centre of the flower.

With the second flower, cut either side of one petal and set both aside for later.

With the third flower, remove 2 petals as shown and set both aside.

You should now have five separate flower elements, as shown here.

Apply tacky glue to one petal of the first flower and stick together.

Glue one petal on the second flower and stick together.

Glue one petal on the third flower and stick together.

You should now have three flower cups as shown - one 5 petal, one 4 petal and one 3 petal.

With the remaining 2 petal piece, roll the lefthand petal backwards using the cocktail stick.

Roll the right petal forwards from the centre.....

....and keep rolling around the cocktail stick until the second petal is wrapped around too.

With the single petal, roll around the cocktail stick to make a cone shape.

On the 5, 4 and 3 petal flowers, roll all the petals backwards using a cocktail stick.

Your three flowers should now look like this.

Cut the bottoms off of the 4, 3, 2 and 1 petal flowers

Apply glue to the base of the 4 petal flower and place inside the 5 petal flower.  Repeat with the 3 petal flower.

Place the 2 petal flower in the centre of the flower....

....and the one petal flower in the very centre of the previous 2 petal flower.

Try mixing different coloured papers and patterns for interesting effects!
