Cut the petals in the shape and size you desire. A simple shape is a heart shape. Use any color or pattern paper your heart desires.
Cut a small slit in the base of the petals.
Fold the bottom slit ends over each other to create a 3-D effect. Secure with a glue dot. Repeat with each petal.
Gradually add the petals in layers from largest to smallest working inward with the smaller petals just like a natural flower.
Using a complimentary colored paper, cut small strips of paper to create ribbons. This will be used to form the center of he flower.
Using a pencil or your finger, wind each piece of paper ribbon around tightly to form a curl.
Adhere several paper curls to the center of the flower. Space them closely together.
And finally you are done with your first beautiful paper flower. Keep going and make different sizes and styles to achieve the look you want.
These paper flowers can be used for many events as a backdrop for a perfect photo opt! We absolutely loved it for this rustic wedding! To see how this whole wedding came together take a peek at our Spring Rustic Wedding video.
