Hi everyone...Laura here...I love making flowers but sometimes I don't have a lot of time so I use this one a lot....again I did not create this one but I do use it a lot...I wish I could give credit where credit is due but last year my computer crashed and I lost it...sorry!
so to start you will need three five petal flowers (I use my cricut George cartridge but you can use any one...the Tim Holtz die works great too)
hot glue gun
a skewer or something you can use to roll your flowers
one flower - one you need to cut one petal off
using flower one (the 4 petal flower) glue petal 1 and petal 4 together so it looks like this
The gently roll back the petals with your skewer
flower two you will need to cut two petals off (looks like a heart)
using flower 2 (the three petal flower) glue petal 1 & 3 together
and roll back like you did with the first flower
on flower three you need to cut an X in the middle
then roll back the petals
The single petal you cut off of flower one you will glue the edges together then roll back like this
The two petals you cut off of flower #2 you will glue the edges together and roll back like this
Place some glue on the single petal and insert into the double petal like this....
Glue your first two flowers together like this....
glue the smaller flower onto the larger one....you may need to trim the bottom part of the cone to fit them together
When you are ready to adhere it to your page I suggest hot glue or another form of sturdy glue as it is a little heavy and you will need to cut off the cone bottom so it will sit on your page!
here are a few examples of projects I have used them on
