To make your flowers you'll need about 4 sheets of the paper of your choice.
Fold your paper in half.
Cut down the line of the fold so you have two equal pieces.
Take one half of your pieces and fold it in half length wise.
Then fold it in half length wise again.
Take one corner and fold it in towards the center fold.
Turn your paper around and fold the other corner to the center fold.
Next take one of your flaps and fold it away from the center fold.
Next take your scissors and cut a curve along the fold you just made.
Unfold your last fold and continue to cut your curve using your fold as a pattern.
This is what you should have when finished cutting.
Open up your folds and you should have the start of your flower.
Cut out one of the petals of your flower.
If you like you can color or decorate your flowers now.
X marks the spot where you should put a dab of glue or what I found works best- a small piece of double stick tape (I used the kind you get for scrapbooking)
Glue or tape your flower together so you have six petals.
Repeat that process until you have 7 flowers!
Take your first flower and place your tape or glue where the 3 X's are marked.
Cover your left X with another flower like shown.
Repeat on the right side.
The two flowers you just placed down should have tape on the places that are marked as well.
Place a 4th flower on the center top so it should cover 3 of your Xs. That center flower should also have Xs on all 3 petals.
Cover the left side with a flower the same as you had before.
Repeat on the right side.
Place your final flower on top. You should have a fan-like shape.
Next get your card ready.
Next place your a piece of tape on the very center petal. Its very important you do not tape anywhere but where I have indicated on all the flowers!
Place inside your card and close your card pressing down where your tape is. Repeat on the other side.
Open up your card and you should have a 3D bouquet of flowers!
