Materials List
- Fiskars Petal by Petal Squeeze Punch
- Cardstock in 4 Shades of Purple or Desired Color
- Paper Trimmer
- Adhesive
- Hot Glue
- Pencil
- Button
Instructions:
-
Using a paper trimmer, cut three 12" x .25" strips of cardstock and glue into one, long strip.
-
Punch approximately 12 to 15 petals from each of four colors of cardstock, one group of the small petals and three groups of the large petals.
-
Approximately six inches from the end of the strip, adhere the small petals overlapping in a row as shown using an extra strength glue stick along the strip. Continue down the strip with the large petals from light to dark until all petals are adhered.
-
Roll the six inches at the end of the strip around a pencil. Continue rolling the rest of the petal strip around the pencil using a low-temp hot glue gun along the bottom strip to secure. Work in small sections so the glue doesn't dry too quickly.
-
Pull down each layer of petals to reveal the flower. Hot glue a button at the center to complete. Repeat steps 1–5 for the other flowers.
