Dog flowers from paper craft

The art of Paper folding and cutting is certainly not new. But the creativity it offers is limitless for sure. Books, Activities and Games Library and Store (BAGS) show you how easy it is to create beautiful dogwood blossoms out of something so simple: paper.

Supplies:

• White card stock
• Paper cutter
• Scissors
• Hole punch (standard)
• Distress Inks (Ivy and Sepia tones)
• Rubber stamp

Instructions:

Fold your squares into quarters to get nice and crisp folds.

Open the square back up, and fold corner to corner, just using your hand to crease, this gives a softer look to the petals.

Fold the paper back into a square. Hold the square on the diagonal and cut the “corners” off, creating a teardrop shape.

Open your paper to reveal your almost dogwood!

 

When you’ve finally cut out as many as you want, it’s time to make it look real! Using a rubber stamp with distress ink (Ivy), stamp on the center of your dog flower cut-outs.

Then using a standard office hole punch, clip all four petals and then ink it using sepia ink. And your dog flowers are ready!

If you need more inspiration, study the actual flower.
