paper flowers tutorial

these are super easy if you have all the right stuff...
-flower stencil from hobby lobby {it was in a really obscure place near the stamps}
-paper piercer
-floral wire
-mini pom poms {optional}
trace and cut the petals--this is definitely the most time consuming step.
the stencil suggests a number to cut, but i usually added an extra one to make them a little fuller.
fold and stackmake 2 holes with paper piercer--there are obviously many options when it comes to this step. i chose to make the two holes and leave the wire long so that i could stick them in a styrofoam ball. you could also use a brad.


inserts wire and twist ends together
wha-laa...a flower!
For the big arrangements, I left a lot with the wire exposed and covered others with the pom poms.
I had big jars of these at my sister's shower...see it all here!
