Paper flower - Step By Step Guide

Instructions on how I made my own version of the paper flower!

 

I made a template and cut out the paper.

I then made a small cut in the bottom of the flower, slightly folded over the paper 

and used by trusty glue gun to glue together.

 Then I began to glue the petals in place.

For each level of the flower, there were five total petals and I made two levels for each size.

 

Then I glued the levels together.

 

For the rolled flower center, I used this tutorial from Jones Design Company.

The finished product!

My version of the paper flower!

Feeling a little under the weather today, but thought I'd share the outcome of my weekend making paper flowers like the one that I've long admired by Zoe Bradley!  I gave the flowers my own spin for in the center but think that overall I came pretty close and will share step-by-step instructions tomorrow.

BHLDN Decor

I posted about BHLDN back in March when they launched a wedding boutique website featuring bridesmaids dresses, party dresses, shoes, jewelry and accessories. BHLDN operates under the Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie and now they've launched a decor line that includes wedding signage, decorations, photo backdrops and favors.  Items may not be practical to be especially on a wedding budget but do serve to inspire!

Martha Stewart Weddings, Spring 2011
