Flowers on friday #15...July 2

Post by Kimandasmo »

Can you believe it..this week is flower 15...that is way more than I expected and I still have more up my sleeve. I hope you are continuing to enjoy all the flowers and the tutorials.



This weeks is another really quick one....less a flower than some others...but I still thought I would share because it is perfect for all your summer layouts.


You are going to start with a square...whatever size you want is good.. I am demonstrating with a 2 inch square. I recommend a paper for this that has 2 sides that you like, as you will see both sides.


Image


Chose a side and make an X on the back in light pencil( mine is darker so you can see it) Make sure you go from corner to corner and cross in the center.

Image

Now you are going to cut from each corner towards the center on your pencil line..but stop short of center,,atleast 1/4 of an inch.

Image


Chose a corner and fold the top half of it to the center and adhere...glue dots.


Image

turn and fold in the next corner and adhere,
Image

then the next,
Image

and then the last.
Image


This gives you a very cute and easy pinwheel...just top with your choice of centers
Image

Here is my completed layout using this flower....note..I did not like my reverse paper so I adhered to pink squares together to make mine.

Image


If you find the time to give this tutorial a try post it to this thread by Thursday July 8, at midnight and you will have your name thrown into the hat for some points. Have fun can't wait to see how you use this.

That is so cute and it looks easy enough for me to do! Great job!
OCD is not an adjective.  It is not a personality quirk. It is not synonymous with being organized.  It is a complex and debilitating mental health illness that affects people of all ages and walks of life, and is defined by the presence of unwanted, intrusive thoughts and repetitive actions. 💙 I am an OCD warrior and I fight for my son. 💙

Soooo Cute!!! I did the last one but didn't get a layout done.


I'm thinking the same as above on a boy's layout and I've been drooling at that new Echo Park Paper of mine to use with my great-nephew's spring school pic!
