Paper Carnations

These Paper Carnations are allot of fun to make. You need cardstock (any color of your choice), Scallop Circle Punch, Paper Piercer, and Brads (any color).

Step 1. Punch 3 scallops

Step 2. Crumble them all up to break up papers fibers. Crumble , then crumble some more. Then split them into two. You will end up with 6 scallop circles now.

Step 3. Stack all 6 one on top of the other....furry soft side up.

Step 4. Using the paper piercer...poke hole through the center of all six scallop circles.

Step 5. Put brad through hole.

Step 6. Start crumbling flower from the center out.

So there it is you have made your Paper Carnation.

***try using white cardstock, DSP or vellum. With these you DO NOT need to split paper just be sure to punch out 6 scallop circles....crumbled up to make soft. Try sponging the tips with ink for that realistic carnation look. HAVE FUN!!!!!
