Flowers on Friday #9.....5/14

Post by Kimandasmo »

This weeks flower takes a little bit longer longer than last weeks, but is still just as easy.

I am going to show it to you in 3 different sizes. Depending on how thick you want your page to be you can even layer them on top of each other.

You need to start with a strip of paper 12 inches long and either 2inches, 1 1/2 inches or 1 inch wide.

Image

Then you are going to score it ( or make a pencil mark about an 1/8 of an inch from one edge...I score mine.
Image..this is a tip on scoring if you do not have a scoring blade. I use my paper trimmer, remove the blade and use one of my rub-on sticks to slide in the slot. Just start on one end and use medium pressure making sure to stay in the slot...this will score your paper.

Image
After you have done this, you are going to fringe your paper by cutting strips up to either your pencil line or your score mark...like this.

Image

You are going to do this for the entire length of your paper.
Image

Next, using a pencil, or skewer, or tweezers..you are going to start at one end and roll your paper up.

Image until you reach the end..then adhere your end. I run a piece of adhesive about the last in so it is adhered all the way around. When you are done it should look similar to this.
Image

Next step is to stand it up on end and start gently opening up your flower by folding the "fringe" or little strip outward. when you are done it will look similar to this.

Image Image

This could be your completes base flower...but I took mine a little further. I used my skewer to curl under the edges of my fringe.
and then I adhered the smallest size..a 1 inch flower to the center of a 2 inch flower with liquid adhesive.
ImageImage

Next , because I am bling lover and I used some of my stickles to add little dots to some of my fringe and and as a center.

Image

and here is my completed layout with this flower.

If you get a chance to make a flower with this tutorial, upload it to this thread by next Thursday night and you may have a chance at some participation pointage.
