Ombre Paper Flowers

 These are some supplies I’ll be using, a glue gun would work great(but I don’t have one…I know, I know I can’t believe it either).
4”x3” pieces of coldpress watercolour paper.

This is how I created the ombre look for the petals.
 
You’ll need to make large enough slits in the petals so the stem can fit through.
I used flower stem tape, wire stems and some stems I had from a faux flower bouquet. Or if you have the ones on the far left, they are awesome too.
I hooked the wire through the trinket and twisted the end to secure it, then I twisted the wire around the stem.

 
To get a realistic looking petal, bend and roll it around a bit and it will to give them their lovely shape. After the first three petals are in position, add glue to secure and continue adding more petals in a staggered pattern.
Once your flower is complete, wrap the stem with some stem tape for a finished look.
 
The result…a beautiful paper flower!
