DIY Project: Rolled Paper Flowers
Create simple and lovely paper flowers for a unique {and inexpensive!} take on a wedding bouquet, centerpiece, boutineer and more. Using scrapbook paper, a glue gun and some florist wire, you can create these flowers.
Step 1: Supplies
Here's what you'll need:
:: scrapbook paper
:: scissors
:: hot glue gun
:: floral wire
Step 2: Cut circle
Cut a circle from paper. Starting at the outside edge, cut a spiral towards the center. Slightly scalloping the edges will create a more natural and imperfect looking blossom.
Step 3: Tightly coil
Beginning from the outside, tightly coil the paper, rolling towards the center.
Step 4: Release coil
Allow the paper coil to loosen to create a flower.
Step 5: Glue to secure
Add a bit of hot glue to the end of the coil to secure.
Step 6: Create a leaf
Cut a leaf shape out of scrapbook paper
Step 7: Fold leaf
Create an accordion-style fold in the center of the leaf and secure with hot glue.
Step 8: Add wire
Bend the end of a piece of floral wire and hot glue to the bottom of the flower and glue the bottom of the leaf to cover.
Step 9: Enjoy!
