Materials:
- Cardstock – My go-to brand is Recollections. Make sure it is 65 lbs cardstock weight
- Gorilla sticks
Tools:
- Cricut machine
- Hot Glue Gun
- Bone Folder
- Scissors
- Flower Curling Kit – this is an absolute must to have tool for working with small flowers
steps:
- Select your templates
- Decide on the size of your flower. Remember to always set your base to be at least 2 to 3 inches larger than your largest petal. If your large petal is 5 inches in height, set your base to 8 inches
- Plan to have at least 3 layers for your flower. For a fuller look, add two more layers. Reduce the size of each petal by 1 to 1.25 inches
- Set up a project in Design Space. Not sure how to organize your petals? This detailed tutorial will walk you through the steps
- Use your Cricut machine to cut out your templates. Remember to use 12×24 mats to cut more petals at once
- Style each petal by curling the sides, and/or creating a slit in the middle to give your petal more depth
- Glue your petals to your base. Start with the largest size petal and work your way to the smallest. Watch this video below on how I styled my lace flowers –
- Create fringe center or you can use small 3D flower
