flower tutorial by Ana Paula- PAPERBOARD FLOWER

This is a recycled flower with a rustic look .

 It´s very easy to do and with low cost. 

I created a gift box using the Nirvana Collection and 

embellished using this beautiful flower.

Step 01- Cut  3 circles of different sizes from a piece of paperboard from an old box.

Step 02 - Separate  and peel the layers of the paperboard 

keeping the center of the circle united.

 

Step 03 - Apply spray paint in the desired color, 

you can use water to crumple the paperboard like a little ball.

 

Step 04 - Hasten the drying process in the microwave for 30 seconds

 and  gently open the layers.

 With a paper piercer, make a "hole" and add a large  brad in the center.

 

 Step 05-Then arrange the "petals" and  with a paint brush add some white water paint

 to give an effect of light on the flower.
