Paper flowers

I had a plain corkboard and I wanted to dress up the thumbtacks. I just used random scrapbook paper that I already head(Maybe, I have excess amounts of scrapbook paper)Start by cutting a circle and then spiral the circle. You can make the circle any size and the circle does not have to be a perfect circle. I just free hand it.

Turn the paper face side down and fold down the outside edge.










After all the edges are folded down, start at the outside of the spiral and begin just rolling up the paper. You want the center of your paper to be tight rolls.




As you get to the end of the spiral, loosen the paper and it will become fuller.

This is the finished flower. Now, hot glue the bottom of the flower to keep it from unrolling.

Cute
