DIY  Paper Flower  Tutorial

Have you ever made paper flowers from old book pages?  Let me show you how.

Gather some aged or vintage book pages.

Cut the book pages into a square

Begin by folding  the book page 

Next, fold each square individually three times. Ensure all the folds align on the same edge of the triangle.

Cut away the exposed edges of the triangle.  Ensure the folded edges are still intact..  Click for more details

Next, remove one petal from one of the pieces, two from the next one, and three from the third piece.  Finally, cut the last piece in half.

For the larger pieces, overlap the two end petals entirely and hold until the glue adheres.

Continue until all eight cones are completed.

Next, roll each petal's top edges outward using a small round cylinder.

You can begin with the two largest petals and add glue to the tip of the smaller of the two.   Place the smaller one inside the large one and allow them to adhere.

Repeat this method working from the largest to the smallest petals.  Allow the glue to dry.

Make leaves for the paper flower by folding and attaching with glue.

Beautiful Vintage Paper Roses can be used for many decorating options.

A Great Addition to A Festive Table Setting
