Paper Flowers

These are from Martha Stewart. 


You'll need several pieces of 5" squares. My sister in law wrapped our Christmas presents in this paper and it was too cute not to re-use. 

Fold each square in half both ways and then diagonally both ways so that you end up with 4 creases. 

Fold 2 of the corners in so you have a square. I'm not totally sure how to explain this so here's a picture for you. 

Place the template on the square so the corner is lined up with the folded corner of your paper. Trace.

Cut along the line you drew.

Unfold the paper.

Bunch the center together until you like the way your flower looks. 

Poke some wire through the bottom to hold it in place.

Wrap the ends of the wire around a branch. Luckily my neighbor trimmed his trees and left the branches on our side of the fence. 

Cut leaves out of a different paper and attach those the same way.
