Love it Carla!

I'm about to work on this one I think....my problem is I have a couple of 'guy' photos I wanted to do...but having a VERY hard time using them on those pages! HA! Think I need to look at my pics that are uploaded and see if I can print a few off.

Here's another I did along the same lines as this one. I used 6 strips of pp -- four of them were 4 inces long, and two were 3 inches long. I curled up the ends and glued them together in the center.

Oh yes. I remember this one. I'll have to get busy when I get home!

This is a flower tutorial I posted last year when we did a flower crop here on the forum. I really like the look of it and is simple to make!

Start with some strips of paper, 1/4 inch thickness. I used double-sided paper so I could get 2 different patterns.

Cut the strips into 3 inch pieces. You can make these smaller or larger depending on what size flower you want. Begin stacking/layering the pieces and secure with staples.

Hold the flower in your hand and give it a SCRUNCH :-)

Add a button or other embellishment to the center.
