Roll it ; Fold it ...

Hi All, hope you had a nice week...

Have u noticed making your own embellishment is so popular right now ?
The strip of paper mustn't be over looked and undervalued i thought ...
So, i did some experimenting , folding, rolling and had some fun with paper.

This is what i did with my hand made embellishment (if i may call it that)... :)



I used up left over pattern papers and felt great to help save the earth a little.
Here are a few simple steps :

1. i punched out a few squares ( you will need 12 of these)



2. Roll the corners and hot glue the ends (where the two corners meet). Press and hold the ends for a few seconds... careful it can be hot.
Repeat with the rest of the squares.



3. Arrange the cone shapes in a circular manner and eventually you will create a simple cone-petaled flower.

Easy isn't it...
hope you take a second look at those left overs !

have a restful weekend ! :)
