Summer

Summer is in full swing so we decided to make a fun project to take our minds off the heat! These flowers are incredibly cute and super easy to make.





Here's what you'll need:
-Card Stock
-Wire
-Scissors
-Hot Glue Gun




Step 1:
Cut a circle out of your paper. You can do any size, depending on how big you want your flower to end up being.






Step 2:
Beginning with the outside edge, cut in a spiral towards the center.






Step 3:
roll your paper into a tight coil. Continue rolling until you reach the center.











Step 4:
Release the coil and watch it blossom into a beautiful flower!






Step 5:
Place some hot glue on the center point of the spiral and press into the bottom of the flower.







Step 6:
Cut a leaf shape out of green card stock.






Step 7:
Fold the leaf at the bottom then place a little dab of glue in the crease.



Step 8:
Glue the leaf to the bottom of the flower.




Step 9:
Cut a piece of wire to your desired length. Fold 1/4-1/2 inch of the end so it makes a right angle. Add a dab of glue to the bottom of the flower and stick the angled piece of wire into it. Be sure to hold it in place until the wire is secure.



And you're done!
