Paper Flower Chandelier

About

You Will Need (3 things)

Steps (14 steps, 60 minutes)

1. 1

   This is the 4 wire contraption I made, and then stuck flowers all over the wires...

2. 2

   I start with 1 full piece of scrapbook paper that I cut into 4 smaller pieces This is the size I like to work with, but you can make them bigger per your preference. (I also like to use wrapping paper)

   I then take one of the 4 little pieces an fold it into a triangle, cutting off any excess...

3. 3

   I take my triangle and fold it in half, making another triangle...

4. 4

   The next step is to fold the right side in towards the center...

5. 5

   And the left side folds away towards the center as well, giving you a "V" shape...

6. 6

   You then cut off the upper points, like so...

7. 7

   You have what is a bit of a cone shape now, to play with...

8. 8

   Experiment cutting into the top and the sides all you want. I think that is the funnest part, the experimentation factor...

9. 9

   Then open it it up to find... Ahhh yes, a sea urchin flower ;)

10. 10

    Or a snowflakey flower...

11. 11

    Trial and error is the name of this paper flower game...

    If you don't already make these, I hope you enjoy doing so. I can get lost in paper cutting. It is so relaxing and addicting. (My photos are a bit funny because it is so cloudy out)
