I love to make my own homemade flowers as I feel it gives my pages and cards more of an artistic feel to them. Today I’m going to show you how to make one of my “go to” flowers. It really is simple once you get the feel of how to fold the petals! So are you ready to get started? Here is a sample of a card that I created with the Nov kit.

First thing to do is pick out a piece of pattern paper that you’d like to have for the flower. Punch or cut out 6 circle all the same size of the pattern cardstock and 1 more circle from a heavier cardstock to mount the flower petals on. I’ve used 2″ circles for my flowers which makes the completed flower 2 1/2″. Once you have your circles ready, follow the folding pattern shown in picture below.

Add liquid glue to the cardstock circle and add petals.

Decorate your flower any way you’d like and add to a layout or a card. Easy peasy! Hope that you all loved this small tutorial and try this paper folding technique.
