Embellish your gift with a flower
>> Monday, February 28, 2011
We attended a little girl's birthday party this Saturday. I wanted to dress up the gift a little. A small paper flower undoubtedly makes a lovely gift topper! Here is what what the finished product looks like.
Here is how you make the flower. All you need is some scrapbook paper and a button or a gem sticker to embellish the middle of the flower.
I have tried to explain the process of making the flower as best as I could. I think the pictures would help more.
It took me half an hour to make this flower. Here is how it looks on the gift.
Hope you like it!

I have tried to explain the process of making the flower as best as I could. I think the pictures would help more.
- Cut two 2" strips of the scrap paper and one strip of width 1.5" . You will also need 3 card stock circles. The size of the circles will depend on how large you want your flower to be. The circles have to be of 3 different sizes, each one a little smaller than the one earlier.
- Fold the paper strip four times and make cuts along the edge of the strip. Open the cut strip.
- Now use a pencil to curl the cut edges.
- Glue the paper strip to the biggest circle. You have to create a pleat after every 3 to 4 cuts. This gives the flower some dimension. Repeat the same process for the 2 smaller circles. I used a hot glue gun for this process.
- Now stick all the 3 circles one above the other.
- I embellished the flower using a button I bought at Jo-Ann's.Add some leaves and you are done!
