Sister asked me to be her guest tutorialist today. I am super flattered and I hope you all like it.Last week I created a bunch of paper flowers using scraps and materials I had been saving. I was really pleased by how cute my free project turned out to be. They’re easy to make and take hardly any time at all.
supplies needed:About four to five sheets of paper (old scraps, tissue, or construction paper will work), glue stick, staples, needle, thread, and buttons.
daisy directions:
Start with ten paper triangles. Fold two ends together and crease half of the fold. Do this with all ten triangles. The folds will be the petals, the unfolded point will be the center. Starting with one triangle, glue the second triangle on to of it. Glue five triangles together, forming a flower. Do this again with the other five triangles, staggering between the first flower. Sew a button on the middle of the flower, to add interest and added strength. Don’t trim the thread tail on the back of the flower. Use it to attach to something.

Start with four pieces of paper. Individually fan fold each piece of paper. Staple the folded paper in the center. Trim the ends of the paper to form a point. Wrap thread around the staples, attaching a button to the front and leaving excess thread to hold onto after tying the knot. Then un-fan the pieces of paper, working from top to bottom. Use the excess thread on the back to attach the flower to something.

I plan on working my paper flowers into my upcoming wedding somehow, but in the meantime, I'm going to use these two tutorial flowers to perk up my desk space.-This Much
