another kraft paper flower

and yet another kraft paper flower tutorial.

again this one is quite simple, but yet beautiful...it could be easily done without a template but as esther from deko kitchen was kind enough to create one and to publish it, why not using it.

for the purpose of making giant paper flowers , i just had to resize the flower but just adding a few more larger petals.


the tutorials for the other paper flowers can be found here:


http://silkerudat.blogspot.de/2016/03/giant-paper-flower-wall-backdrop.html

this is what you need

- kraft paper roll

- pencil

- eraser (just in case)

- scissors

- glue stick

- template

- gem stone (optional)

this is what you have to do

 

 - place the templates on the kraft paper

- draw the outlines of the petals onto the kraft paper

- cut out the petals

- you should have a variety of different sized petals

- get your pencil ready

- place the pencil in the middle of each single petal to slightly shape the petals

- the petals should be slightly folded inwards

- you could simple fold the petals in the middle to create a similiar shape

 

- apply glue onto the centre of the largest petals

- firmly press the smaller sized petal onto the glue 

- repeat with the remaining petals

- and that's it

- a gem stone could be added to the centre of the flower 



i hope you enjoyed the tutorial...thank you very much for your interest...best regards...silke

more and more giant kraft paper flower

halfway there...paper flower number four and a few more to come.

i can't wait to get this flower wall done...i mean, i made one already but did not find the time to take pictures and to write the tutorial...i was actually producing paper flowers.

the flowers were meant to decorate my parents place, while i was celebrating my birthday with good old friend...but this time the paper flowers should decorate my own place and i think the kraft paper flowers will look great on my living room wall, which happens to be painted in a very similiar colour.

as soon as i am done with the flower and as soon as i find a way to stick them onto my wall, i'll let you know.

until then, i'll keep on posting the tutorials of the flowers, i am making.

- fold into half one more time
