Paper Flowers

1. Take an old book (or any pretty paper.
2. Cut petals in various sizes. Curl with a pencil or leave flat. 3. Starting with smallest petal curl and place a dab of hot glue to keep in place.
4. Keep going increasing the size of the petals as you go around. I found it best to overlap them a bit (you can see in the bottom one I didn't do that and there are gaps in the flower.

My inspiration came from a wreath made of these flowers. After two flower and two hours I was done. You'd need a lot of time and patience for that wreath.

I'd love to hear your feedback and comments. I'd also love and suggestions to help me perfect my skills as I develop them. Have a question? I'll try to answer it for you right away.

The only think I ask is that negativity not be posted. You know that old saying your mother probably taught you? "If you don't have something nice to say, then don't say anything at all!"
