napking paper flowers

Valentines is around the corner, between work kids and hubby I been do a little crafts, I start with this napkin flowers.


The flowers are super easy to do, I saw last year the tutorial in dana made it, and I make some for my little girl birthday party.

To make the napkin flowers you will need:

- Napkins (you can buy in the dollar store)

- Pipe cleaner

- Scissors

First you unfold 4 napkins of the same color, for the center I use something that contrast, but cut the border of this so get a little smile, how I show in the picture below

When you have your napkins together you star to fold all of them about an inch each fold to form a fan

In the middle you will tied it with the pipe cleaner, you can use string also.

After you tide it, cut the ends to give the shape

                                                                                                                    

Now you open the petals and give the shape

And it is done

                                

Here is one of the places I put this flowers

Prima Flower

My mom was looking in the web, and sends me a picture of a flower and asks me if I can do it.



They call it prima flowers

For this flower you will need:

- Tulle any color

- Scissors

- Tea candle with a glass

- Tweezers

- Brass

first of all you need to determine what size of flower you want,  for this I use a 3" circles you need about 7 and a bras, you can use a plain brass or decorative, if you use plain you can put on tap a pretty jewelry or button

                                                                                 

After you cut your circles, you folded in a 1/4, and hold them with your tweezers, how I show you in the picture

light up your candle, and get close the tulle, only need the warm, not direct to the flame, (tulle burn real easy), recommended you try one first, can a rotate it around, to the ends of the circles get crispy a little bit.

The circles my glue together but don’t worry, jus take them apart and unfold it. When you done with all the circles it is time to ensemble the flower

You will star overlapping each circle (I use 7 circles for this flower), when you finish, use the brass in the middle, and open it, you can use a gem or a button to give different finish; and is done.
