Scrapbooking idea: Paper Flower with 4 petals

 
Today we're making this pretty paper flower with 4 petals to add a bit of flower power to our lives. You can use this cute little flower for your scrapbooking projects, photo albums, picture frames...

Supplies Tools Pencil Utility knife Printer Cutting board Materials Stiff paper Directions Paper flower with 4 petals Download and print the template for the flower with 4 petals. It measures about 6.5 x 6.5cm (2.6 x 2.6 inches). Place the template on the back of the paper. Trace the outline and cut it out. Mark the lines of the folds in pencil. Fold each petal along the line at its center, then unfold it. Working clockwise, fold 2 petals toward the middle of the flower, overlapping them. When you fold the 3rd and 4th petals, slide them under the 1st. Tips Try each design on plain paper first to make sure you've got the folding technique down, then do it on the real paper for your project.
