Supplies:
Styrofoam balls, I used 3 inch balls
Scrapbook paper, each ball took about two sheets
2 1/2 inch punch
Petal roller, just ask a lady at the craft store
glue and your glue gun
First punch all of your paper out with the 2 1/2 inch punch. Until your hands hurt. About halfway through this I thought to myself 'why didn't I use my Cricut?' Oh well I was committed to it at that point.
Next is to cut your circles into a spiral.
Take the outside edge of your spiral and curl it around the petal roller. Stopping at the end. Make sure you don't rip the end off.
Release the paper and there is a cute little flower!
Glue onto your Styrofoam ball and repeat until the ball is full!
Last step is to put a painted wooden dowel into the flower and put them where ever your heart pleases!
