...this is the last kraft paper flower tutorial and the mission giant paper flower backdrop is nearly completed...it only needs the actual arrangement of the flowers, which follow tomorrow.
this last flower is of course easy to make...and as you only need one shape of petal, you can easily make your own template.
curling the petals in two different directions makes the flower so special and it is definitely worth a try.
