Instructions for 3-dimensional Flower

STEP 1:  Grab any large flower punch or even scallop circle punch and double sided pattern paper.

STEP 2:  Punch 8 flowers from the same punch

STEP 3:  Crumple all 8 punched out flowers into tiny pieces

STEP 4:  Unwrap all 8 punched out flowers

STEP 5:  Stack your flowers on top of each other, alternating the front and back sides of the paper.  Pierce a hole in the center of all your flowers with a paper piercing tool.

STEP 6:  Insert a brad in the hole and fold the brad prongs on the backside of your flower stack - although this is a thick stack, there is enough room to secure it.

STEP 7:  Begin folding each flower towards the center of the brad as tight as you can

STEP 8:  Keep folding all those petals in towards the center.  You're almost done, it's looking amazing isn't it!

STEP 9:  Once you've folded all the petals into the center, start unfolding some petals starting from the bottom of your stack of petals...it will really look nice.  Try different types of patterened papers - I think the patterened papers tend to look the best and give a very dramatic appeal!
