my roommate Jamie Arnett, showed me this fun way to make flowers out of paper. the theme of my wedding reception is vintage so i made a whole bunch out of vintage craft paper i found at Joanne's. (180 sheets for only 12 dollars!) here is how to make them:
What you need:
- 5 square pieces of paper (I used 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 in, but you can use any size really, depending on how big a flower you want)
1. Fold the paper in half, creating a triangle
2. Take the left and right corners and fold them up to the middle
3. Fold the same pieces down to the right and left outside edge of the square. They will line up with the edges.
4. Open up the pockets you've just created and press them down.
5. Fold the small triangles towards you on each side so they are level with the edges of the paper.
6. Fold the triangle in half on each side, using the crease you made earlier.
7. Apply glue on the outside triangle, stick it to the other side. This is you first petal. To complete the flower, you need to make 4 more of these petals and glue them together.
