Paper Flowers

i've been enjoying my paper crafts lately... and i made these flowers this week. 

i started out with a 1 x 8 1/2 inch piece of paper. 

trimmed the edge with my scallop punch. 

scored the paper strip at each indentation in between the scallops. 

then folded the long strip of paper accordion style.

when i got to the end, i had to use a really strong adhesive to join the ends.

just press the two ends together. 

this part is a little awkward.  push the top part down and kinda flatten it without flattening it.  does that make sense?  i kinda had to wrestle with it.

cut out two little circles, use really good adhesive and glue them down in the center on both sides of your flower. 

here's the other side. 

i LOVE double-sided paper!  

these are going up in my craft room, but i'm showing that a little later.  :o)
