[MAKE] CREPE PAPER FLOWERS
Spring is my favorite season and I always look forward to seeing the first spring blossoms. Inspired by the pink blossoms lining the streets in our neighborhood I created some crepe paper flowers to decorate a few packages. They are super easy to make.
MATERIALS
1. crepe paper [crepe paper holds the shape much better than tissue paper]
2. scissors
3. glue stick

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Gather the supplies.
2. Cut a strip of crepe paper. [My strip was 2" wide by 20" long.]
3. Fold the crepe paper strip accordion style.
4. Cut out a petal shape on the folded edge.
5. Repeat Steps 2-4, cutting various size petals. [I cut 18 petals.]
6. Find a surface to place your crepe paper flower. [I used two pieces of card stock, stitched up three sides, placed the gift inside and stitched up the last side.]
7. Place a dab of glue on one end of a petal. Secure into place my pressing down into the paper for a few seconds. Repeat with remaining petals.
