Paper Flower Basics

In this post you will find info. on the materials you will need to create stem-less paper flowers.

Everything you need to create paper flowers can be found at your local craft store, and, possibly, even around your home!

Here are the essentials:

-a glue gun with glue sticks (LOTS of glue sticks. You will be surprised by how quickly they run out.)

-Paper. Any kind. I use colorful card stock since it has superb quality. My other favorites are book pages and music sheets.

-Scissors. Ones that you love and wont cause blisters! I have a favorite pair I've been using for years.

Step 1: Cut a round shape from a piece of paper. It does not have to be a perfect circle.

Step 2: Cut a spiral into that round paper.

Step 3: From the tip of the spiral, start to roll in. Keep rolling until you've reached the middle.

Step 4: Put a dab of hot glue in the middle. Using your fingers, carefully press the flower into itself. Hold for a few seconds until glue is dry.

Step 5: That's it! You did it.
