Paper Flowers - minus the tubes...

-

So I tried another flower tonight without the paper towel tube - just the paper. I like it, but it is STILL too big! I need a dainty flower. Like me. (uh... that was a joke)


And I punched out a whole bunch of these little flowers - I have an idea for a garland I want to try. More later!

Oh using just paper for these flowers turned out really nice too!! I know you said about making them smaller, but this is beautiful - you don't give yourself enough credit!! Smaller you say though....what about just cutting smaller strips of paper? Scale down the original version. I still have this on my list to try, I want to add it to a spring time card!!

I have been pleasantly surprised to find many people are still interested and emails pop up in my box every so often asking if I'll ever sell it again. (Apparently, once you're on Etsy, you are FOREVER on Etsy and people can find you forever, too.) In the spirit of paying it forward to the world, I'm making the tutorial FREELY available here on my blog . Scroll below to see the tutorial in its entirety, all for free. Eventually I'l
