Book Page Flower

Two posts ago I had a picture of paper flowers I had made for my kitchen and someone asked me to do a tutorial for them so here it is! =] 

It literally took me five minutes to make this flower. That's how easy it is!

P.S. I was tagged in a couple blog posts to answer some questions and I'll do that next post! =]


You just need a stick, a couple book pages, scissors, and glue.


I crinkled and smashed up the pages for a while so that they weren't so stiff and to give them some texture.


Then I cut out petals in the shape of hearts (kinda).



I glued two together and cut another single (not heart) petal so there were five base petals.


Then I just kept cutting smaller and smaller hearts; glueing in each layer at a time.




Then when I've made three or four layers of petals, I crinkle just a tiny scrap of paper into a ball and glue it in the center.




When the flower is done I cut a rectangle of paper out, glued the stick on to the back, and glued the piece of paper over the stick.



Here's the one I made today and the one from the other post in my kitchen.


Love love,
