1. Cut five same sized circles based on the size of flower you want to create. Fabric, felt, paper, crepe can all work by adjusting your adhesive to the appropriate one. On this one I used pinking shears. Scallops work well. You can also free hand a simple flower shape and copy that five times. A plain edge also works. Create the look you want.
2. Put one flower down flat as your base. Take a second flower and add a drop of glue to the center of that flower folding it in half. Put a drop of glue into the center of your 1st flower and put your second flower down over the left half of your first flower.
3. Move this little stack counterclockwise so that the 2nd flower is on the lower half. Add a drop of glue to the center of the third flower and fold in half. Put a drop of glue into the center of your stack and put this third flower on the left side of your stack. Partially over the top of your 2nd flower.
4. Turn your stack again so that your 3rd flower is on the bottom. Add a drop of glue to the center of your 4th flower and fold it in half. Again add that to the left half of your stack with a drop of glue in the center of the stack.
5. Add a drop of glue to the center of your last flower and fold that in half. Bring the top of your 4th flower back a bit add a crop of glue to the center of the stack. Put your 5th flower onto the upper half of the stack. The left side of this last flower will be under the upper half of the 4th flower.
6. I like to use a button for the center but of course you can use more typical flower centers. Push or pinch all of the flower petals up at the center and glue in your center. I used Platinum Stickles on the edges of this one. The vintage crepe did bleed into it and turn it red but in this case it looks fine.
Have fun!
It certainly has lots of dimension & pretty ruffles to it. Love that stripe paper - which collection is it ?
