Paper flower

The making of this flower is based on this snowflake idea. Two green paper squares, 9 orange ones, a green stick (for the stem) and a bottle cap have been used. To make the flower stay upright, we've put some play dough into the cap to make it heavier.

Amy, I had special wooden sticks for crafts, but a bamboo skewer would do as well, I think.

Floral greeting card with spiral flowers

-

I tried to make a greeting card with three-dimensional flowers. The techniques is described in detail in " Paper Crafts Workshop: A Beginner's Guide to Techniques & Projects ". In short: Draw a swirl on coloured paper. Cut the paper following the swirl design with decorative scissors (waves of different types). Start cutting from the outside to the centre. Roll the swirl from the outside towards the centre around a thin round stick or using a quilling tool. Remove the stick and let the rolled paper free. It opens a little into a flower. Pull the centre (a small circle) of the swirl and glue it underneath. Cut out leaves, place them on a soft pad and gently press in veins. UPDATE: Don't miss the video tutorial on how to make such roses.
