Cut or punch out 2 Circles

1 x 1- 1/2 inch

1 x 2 inch

Cut a strip of Crepe paper (slightly bigger than the circle)

 and fold over and back until you have 6 layers,

place the circle on top and cut out

repeat for both sizes

Scrunch all the layer up tightly

and then open them back out,

but not fully

For the larger flowers place the 6 smaller petals on top of the 6 larger petals, for the smaller flower, you need 6 smaller petals

Make a hole in the centre and thread a brad through

The flowers also look lovely when a button is stitched in place

This flowers is made with non woven fabric instead of crepe paper

( I used a 6 petal flower punch 2 inch and 1/ 1/2 inch size, from Crafts Too UK.  to make  the flower)

or you can download a 6 petal flower shape, and freehand cut out the petals.

Small toppers made with a small flower
