Grab ‘n’ Go: Punched Flowers

Making punched flowers is much easier than cutting them out. You can add embellishment to add more dimension, color or glitz.

Punched flowers can be used for:

• Cards
• Scrapbooks
• Flower friends to represent the girls
• Ceremonies
• Centerpieces
• And more!

Tools:

• Paper punches — Flowers, leaves, etc.
• Foam mat
• Stylus
• Scissors
• Tweezers, optional

Materials:

• Paper — Scrapbook, old book pages, etc.
• Glue
• Wax paper, optional

Steps:
Punch shapes — Select your paper and punch shapes. Cardstock will hold shaping better than lighter papers.

Shape pieces — Using the stylus and foam mat, shape your pieces. Assemble without glue as you work to see how it looks.

Glue — Using tweezers, do your final assembly for your flowers. Assemble on wax paper if you are a messy gluer. Allow to dry before using the flower in another project.

Option — Before shaping, add color to pieces with a marker, direct to paper techniques or even stamping.
