Paper Girls Challenge Blog Hop

 
 
Time for another blog hop!
This time our theme is hand made flowers.
I've been playing around with a simple formula for making one piece accordion flowers. I think I finally have the ratios right!!!
Here are the directions:
Step 1:Cut a 4 inch circle from cardstock.
Step 2:Score your circle into 16ths as shown in box 1 and box 2
Step 3:Cut a 1.5 inch circle out of the center.
Step 4:Bunch center of the circle together to create an accordion flower, secure with adhesive. I use hot glue which looks a tad messy so I add a paper circle on top. 
Supplies:
Paper:DCWV and Echo Park
Trim:May Arts
Doily:Stash
 
Our blog hop prize this round is a set of dies and a 2.5 inch xyron!

  3. Love how easy you make this flower look! Will definitely be trying this one out - looks a lot easier than making an accordion flower with a strip of paper. Thanks for the tutorial and inspiration :-)
