Gotta love the warm-fuzzy feeling of productive Saturday mornings
doing xmas crafts.
I've already done 8 of this flower and am ready to start new exciting
projects.
Inspired by the latest issue of Better Homes and Gardens.
Off to Spotlight to get more material tee hee
=D
Edit to add instructions:
Thanks guys!
I did not have time to make a step-by-step of this so I thought I
might as well just write the instructions here:
Curled Flower
Cut 10 paper strips, 15 x 2cm.
Staple together ends of each strip, creating 10 'teardrops'.
With stapled ends in centre, arrange teardrops in a flower shape.
Using double-sided tape, secure 5 of the adjoining teardropswhere the
loops of teardrops touch.
Use Magic tape to hold ends of teardrops together. Repeat this step
for the remaining 5 teardrops.
Using double-sided tape, stick the 2 halves of the flower together,
sandwiching a narrow grosgrain ribbon hanging loop between the two.
Cut 2 paper circles, 4cm diameter. Using double-sided tape, centre and
stick circles onto both sides of flower.
voila!
ps: for those in Australia (like me), I used Cristina Re's gorgeous papers.
