Rolled Twill flowers

Hiya, Tanya here.  I thought I’d show you how I made these rolled flowers using the twill from this month’s full tart kit.

You may remember Nicole’s step by step where she showed us how to make paper roses here.  Well, this is very similar :)

All you need is a circle from a scrap piece of cardstock, twill and some strong liquid glue.

Step 1. Place a small dot of glue in the centre of the circle.

Step 2.  Fold the twill lengthways

Step 3.  Twist the folded twill

Step 4.  Shape into a circle

Step 5.  Once you have a small circle, apply to the glue and hold in place for a few seconds until it stays

Step 6.  Once it is glued in place, keep twisting the twill to form a circle

Step 7.  Add more glue along the way, and hold in place

Step 8.  Repeat this process until you have a size you are happy with

Step 9.  Trim off the excess twill and apply extra glue to hold down the end

Step 10.  Trim off the excess cardstock and your flower is complete

Now the flower is ready to be added to your project.  I used mine as centres on the canvas flowers.

    Its on my to do list. I love the look of these and with my cuttlebug dies I should be able to rustle up some much nicer scrapbooking embellishments to use.
