Here is what you need to do.

Cut your paper (thin is better) into a square.  The bigger the square the bigger the flower. I have made up several. One each at 4,3 and 2 inches. This one is 3 inches.

Fold in half

Then in half again.

Fold again to form a triangle.

Trim outside edge of triangle so it sort of resembles an ice cream cone.

Unfold and place on mat right side down. Pop a button in the middle

Then gather up the edges of the paper and twist around the button.

Using  string (as I didn’t have any rubber bands) tie it under the button, snipping off the ends, then unwrap the rest of the paper to form the petals of your flower.

Once you are happy with how it all sits you can embellish the centre and you have a new flower for your next project. I had fun making these flowers and they appeared on a few of my kit projects this month.

Here on a layout.

and here on a card.

If you try and do these flowers I’d love to see them. Add a link in the comments here and I will check them out.

I love the lacy look borders on these and if you are a stampaholic like me then you would probably love the August A la tarte kit.

If you would like one of these you had better be qucik as I am sure they will fly out the door.

I have used Odette from my Roll call set. It isn’t one that Philippa has in store but she can get it in for you.  I love this set as there are 10 images and 6 greetings in it. Why not check out what Greeting farm stamps Philippa has in. I am sure if you aren’t addicted to them you soon will be. I know I am. I have a few on my would love to get list.

If you do have some on hand why not play along as it is open till the 31st. Just like the Copic competition that we have running on the Lime Tart blog. You can see all the details here.
