I sit in my craft room thinking of what to create with my 6x6 paper collection of My Minds eye 'Lost and Found' I decide to create a flower and begin cuttting and punching a few of the sheets and then I think what if I do this..and thats how my new flower creation come to be. I have not seen a flower tutorial like this on the web yet so I have decided to share with you how I have created this fun cone fold flower.
To begin you will need:
1. 1 1/4" Square punch (you may use a 1" unch but I used a 1 1 /4")
2. 3 double sided sheets
3. A paper circle for backing
4. Glue ( I used glossy accents but hot glue will work )
5. A button
6. Bakers twine or any Thread
Lets get started... First punch out 4 squares from each sheet (you should have 12 total) |
Fold each square into a cone |
Add glue to the inside of the folds and hold togther to insure the glue holds. |
Continue to fold each square |
This is what they should look like after folding all 12 squares. |
Assemble each cone in the order you would like ( I alternated each cone) |
Add some glue to the circle you cut |
Add all the cones to the circle |
This is what it should look like it once adhered to the backing |
Now grab the button of your choice and thread the bakers twine through the loop holes and tie a knot |
Adhere the button to the center of the flower and you are done. |
This flower is dimensional and great for scrapbooking have fun creating. |
So very pretty!! Thanks for the tutorial.
