Paper Flowers

- What can you make from a strip of paper?

- Is it a bow for the top of a cute gift?

- Corsage for Homecoming?

Blurfing one day I came upon another blogger making flowers out of a single paper strip 2" wide and 12" long. Fold strip like a hot dog bun (length wise) so it will be 1" x 12".  Cut 'fringe' into the folded strip (like cutting grass when you were a kid, cut on the open side) and roll the strip tight adding glue every few inches.  When dried, you peel open the petals and voila~, get a pom pom flower. Patterned paper is thinner and might give a softer look.  You can add a middle in a different color strip.  You can make it flat or FULL. These might be too 'puffy' for a card, but great on top of a mini scrapbook or bow for packaging.
