Steps
- Gather the tools and materials listed above.
- Cut out the flowers and leaves (a cutting machine is recommended). Curl the petals on the flowers using the edge of a pair of scissors. Fold the leaves and curl.
- Glue the tabs onto the flowers and attach to the other side. The two bigger flowers should have their petals curling out, and the small white flowers curling in.
- Roll the pink stamen pieces and glue in the center of the white flowers.

Tips
We’re head-over-heels for our paper cutting machine from Cricut! Although this project can be completed by hand, a paper cutting machine makes it all the more simple. We found our text weight papers from Paper-Papers in the colors Fairway, Lime Satin, Jellybean Green, Emerald, Pink, Pink Lemonade, Gold, Cryogen White, but feel free to play around with a pallet of your own unique styling!
