I am so excited to share this tutorial with you all today.
Seriously, it was so much fun to do and looks great decorating my house. If you checked out my instagram yesterday, you probably have an idea of what I’m sharing. If not, well, you’re going to find out right now!
Scissors
Hot Glue Gun
Hot Glue Sticks
Floral Stakes
Vase
Pencil (optional)
Depending on the size of your paper, you could fold it a few times and cut it into squares. You need squares.
Take your scissors and cut out a spiral from your square piece of paper.
Evenness is not needed, and kind of ruins the effect, so just cut and cut and cut. You could use a pencil to draw out a spiral first, but I just wing it. I live dangerously in the craft world, yo.
It’s very important to start from the outside, it won’t work if you start from the middle.
Roll it up tightly, all the way til you reach the end.
Take the hot glue and place a dollop of it on the flat circle on the bottom and press the flower into it, sealing it into place.
All you need to do for that is get your vase, and plop in the flowers until you are happy with its look!
And as always, if you have any questions, please do let me know!

Awesome site you have here but I was wondering if you
knew of any forums that cover the same topics talked about here?
I’d really like to be a part of community where I can get opinions
from other experienced people that share the same interest.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Cheers!

Can I just say what a comfort to discover someone that truly understands
what they are talking about over the internet.
You certainly understand how to bring a problem to light and make it important.
More people really need to check this out and understand this side of the story.
I can’t believe you’re not more popular given that you surely possess the gift.

Love these! I’m planning a bedroom redo this fall (going to surprise my hubby!) and I’ve been looking for something like this. Pinning!!

I love paper; especially old. Think I am enamored of aging paper, the hundred-years-old-era going forward from which we inherited greeting card graphics, “ladies” magazine illustrations (I ‘m about to faint) what a joy common & not so common paper gives people; a way to hold history & evidence the way we lived & what we love. What if we had no paper,with its texture, the colors, brilliant, fading, different. I hope we will keep it no matter what technology makes possible in the future. I think your paper flowers are sweet and beautiful. It’s THAT hot where you live? I bought a itsy new house in Surprise.My spouse will die in the heat. It’s amazing but the house actually has a personality, yet it was built last year.
I hope that you keep gifting the world with your talent! (I’m tired; I forgot my password, silly me . Jmcicool@aol.com) I will be watching for more outstanding greatness from you!)
