{Guest Post from Eleftheria}
It might be officially Spring here, but the weather is not convincing. So we’ve decided to bring Spring and flowers closer with a handmade bouquet with paper flowers. I have already tried in the past many ways to create flowers from paper, and I have concluded to this easy craft.
What will we need:
– Colorful scrapbooking papers
– Hot Glue
– Scissor or paper trimmer if we have one
– Optionally paper puncher with different themes 
Procedure
Cut the papers in pieces at the same length and width (we cut them 20*4cm). For each flower we are going to need two paper strips. Fold the paper in order to create expanders. Use the hot glue to close the papers and create a circle.
Pull the paper edges in the center and while we hold tight the flower we add some hot glue. Keep it for a few minutes for the glue to dry and for our construction to be more stable. Have in mind that the trick that will hold the flower stable is a paper circle that we are going to put in the centre. Instead of a circle we used a small paper flower that we created with our favorite paper puncher. Optionally we can decorate more the flower edges with a paper trimmer.
With these beautiful paper flowers we can decorate a wishing card.
We can also use them to wrap a gift or to create sticks for a baby party decoration.
How are you going to use these flowers?
