DIY Cute Paper Flowers

     I thought I'd share this easy and cute decor idea.  Making paper flowers  is a fun paper activity, and the flowers will last a long, long time! All it takes is some colorful paper and a healthy dose of imagination.

 Here's how to make them:
      Draw some figure 8's on the back of your patterned paper.  You'll need five of them--three of them need to be 1 inch longer than the other two.  


     Cut them out, leaving enough space at the center to punch holes without tearing through. 
           Layer the three larger ones on top of each other making sure they're offset.  Layer the two smaller ones on top of those, and make sure they're offset as well. Punch two holes through the center of the stack with a hole puncher.
    
      Thread a wire up through the bottom of the flowers, adding a button at the top and then going back down through the opposite hole in the button and out the bottom of the flower. Twist the wire tightly starting as close as possible to the bottom of the flower.  Arrange in a vase and you are done!

 Have a wonderful Sunday lovelies!
