flower embelishments

tonight we learnt how to make paper flowers.. the first one on the left is made using a five petal flower shape cut out several times and stacked on top of each other and secured with pin flair glue

these two flowers were made using a petal punch each punched flower was made to look more dimensional by folding and rolling the petal edges with the edge of an embossing tool to make them bend easily, as flower 3 had a more open design a used a small pearl bead to decorate the centre for a different look tot he closed inwards version


the smallest crinkled effect flower was made by scrunching paper petals together and securing with a brad
