I love paper flowers! I have a vintage book from Dennison and also a new book full of paper flower how-tos. It seems like I never have enough time to sit down and actually make any of them. When I decided on a daisy sucker cover for this project, I looked through both of them. The daisies are so very pretty, but kind of time consuming. I was whining (I mean mentioning, of course) about it to Dennis and he remembered making these easy daisies in school. Seriously??? I don't have a memory like that. I remember very little about grade school and if I even remembered making a daisy, I wouldn't have a clue how we actually did it!
So are you wondering how to make the daisy? Here's a video to show just how easy it is:
You could make a bunch of these daisies in no time. You can make even bigger daisies than I show in the video. Just use a larger rectangle. I give a couple of tips in the video if you want to use the daisy as a sucker cover like I did.
If you're like me, you probably think the vintage valentine is really sweet. I've got it for you to download below. (The sentiment, too!)

I sure wish I had you as a teacher in grande school - you are wonderful Lori -- I want to adapt this to some winter snow flowers I have seen. Although I love it, I have to tell you that your images are from the era when I was young. My heart does not believe it but my mind does!!

ReplyDeleteI don't remember making them in school either! What a great tutorial! Wish I had seen this before I bought a bunch of flower dies - looks like you could make different flowers by cutting different shapes of petals! Genius! Thanks for the free downloads! Wishing you a joyful day!
