How to Make Tiny Paper Flowers
- 1). Punch out a batch of 20 to 50 floral petal punchies from paper in colors you desire.
- 2). Separate each shape into a pile.
- 3). Layer petal punchies creating a multipetaled flower. Put a dot of adhesive on the center of a petal and adhere a second petal to it. Use tweezers to pick up a paper punchie and set it onto the glued paper petal. Repeat with a third layer of petals if desired. These will be daisies, forget-me-nots and other multipetaled blossoms. Punch out miniature paper circles for flower centers or use a miniature colored brad fastener.
- 4). Wrap the balloon shaped punchie around the tip of a round toothpick, wooden skewer or metal embossing tool. Roll it into a tight little cylinder.
- 5). Curl the tip of a second balloon top to fold it back a bit. Curl the entire punchie around the cylinder shape. Remove and add a dot of adhesive to the cylinder or flower center. Attach this second "petal" to it. Add a third balloon punchie on the other side of the cylinder. This will be a rosebud.
- 6). Punch white balloon shapes. Wrap them around a tool to make a cylinder that is tight at the bottom and loose at the top.
- 7). Pinch the front of the top of the cylinder to a crisp point. This is a calla lily. Glue it to a paper leaf if desired.
- 8). Punch out leaves to give flowers a finished appearance. Twist or coil green quilling paper for vines for the flowers.
