Don't you love getting new craft tools?! I spent most of my birthday money this year at the craft stores on some fun stuff........like a 3 1/2 inch scallop flower paper punch. It's awesome and it's inspiring all kinds of crafty projects for spring!
Materials:
Large flower or scallop paper punch
Tissue Paper
Stapler
Instructions:
1. Fold one piece of tissue paper in half, then in half again two more times so that you end up with 8 thicknesses of paper.
2. Along the folded edge, slide the paper into your punch all the way back and press down firmly to cut out some flower shapes.
3. With all 8 tissue flower shapes in a neat pile, staple them together a couple of times in the center.
4. Scrunch each layer of tissue from the center out to create a ruffled flower.
I just happened to have some poppies in a vase that these tissue paper flowers look perfect with. I'm loving these colors together! Happy Spring!
These are so so pretty! I think they would look good on wrapped gifts...Oh, and I found you via the Sugar Bee Crafts link party:)
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh you think of the cleverest things!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute. Simple enough I'm going to try them with my little 6 year old grandaughter who is here today. I don't have the punch but I think I will just cut circles--maybe with pinking shears. Thanks!!
