I have made the...Sorry I've found this so late. I have made these flowers and it's very simple. First make a template by drawing a circle of the size you desire using a compass. Next you lightly draw the petals. Leave a slight gap between the last two petals, drawing a narrow V clear to the center. Now cut your template. You'll be able to see how you can bring the paper together to close the little gap. I use a tiny section of rolled up paper for the center as shown, hot glued to the wire. You can alternatively use a short segment of one of the long, narrow pencil eraser or a bit of dried greenery or whatever pleases you. I like to include a few leaves with mine as well, and if you like you can pinch a tiny crease as you see in this photo. Medium weight paper works best. You will need a bit of glue or papier mache or some wire (as is shown here) under the flower to prevent it moving on its stem. Very simple! If you need a template I can send you one.Sharyn Sowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09916723626684709031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823162730236792476.post-80217680967026009982010-09-11T12:24:26.965-04:002010-09-11T12:24:26.965-04:00I googled images of: paper flower craft ~ and ther...I googled images of: paper flower craft ~ and there were oodles of choices ~ though I didn't see this exact image.
