Then, last week it reappeared on this card!
and now most recently on this gift jar!Yes...I know! The card and gift jar match!!! I just couldn't help myself!
A view from above...
Anyway... after using these flowers several times now, I figured it was about time for me to put together a little tutorial to share on how I make them!
Here is a list of the supplies I used:
- 2" Circle Scallop Punch (mine is by Stampin Up!, but EK Success has them too and you can get them HERE)
- Helmar 450 Quick Dry Glue and Zap Dots
- Patterned paper of your choice
- Large button
- Small embellishment and/or gem for the center
Instructions:
Punch out 7 circle scallops.
Set 1 of them to the side to use as the base for your flower.

To fold the petals, take one of the circle scallops. 
Fold the circle scallop in half.
Fold the circle scallop in half.
Then accordion fold it like this...
Here you can see what I mean better.
Repeat this for all 6 petals, making sure to fold them all the same direction.
Now you have a happy little petal family!
Apply 450 Glue liberally to the base circle scallop. Then start adhering the petals in a circular fashion to the base. This glue will dry quickly, but it will still give you time to move the petals a little if they are not lined up evenly.
Clear the runway! The petals are coming in for a landing!!!
Whew!!! All of the petals have successfully landed!!!
Now, attach the big button using the Zap Dots.This keeps the flower from getting too smushed!
We certainly don't want to smush this beauty!!!
Last by not least...because this makes it really purty...add the embellishment of your choice!
In this case, I had cut a flower from some of the patterned paper. But you could add chipboard and/or bling! Just have fun making it purty!!!
