Assembly Instructions for 6-Leaf Flower

Tips before assembling flower:
  • It is best to use hot glue. This will make the flower hold together better.
  • To make a beautiful bouquet you can use green wire for stems.
  • Chalking or inking the petals before glueing gives the flowers a more finished realistic look.
  • Base: Overlap and glue 1st and 2nd petal. Make sure that you match them correctly. The end result should look like a cone with a scalloped ridge.
  • (Optional) curl one end of your wire around to make a loop. insert other end of wire through the base. The loop of the wire should end up inside the cone. Add a little glue for security.
  • 1st Row of Petals: Overlap and glue 1st and 2nd petal. Make sure that you match them up correctly. You are making a cone with the inside so it will fit inside the base. Curl the petals with a pencil.
  • Add some glue to the inside of the base and insert the 1st row of petals. 
  • (Optional) You can cut and add as many rows of flowers as you would like.
  • 2nd Row of Petals: Overlap and glue 1st and 2nd petal. Make sure that you match them up correctly. You are making a cone with the inside so it will fit inside the 1st row of petals. Curl the petals with a pencil.
  • Add some glue to the inside of the base and insert the 1st row of petals.
  • (Optional) You can cut and add as many rows of flowers as you would like.
  • Center: Crease the center along the dashed lines (accordion style). It doesn't have to be perfect. 
  • Add a dot of glue to the inside of the 2nd row of petals and insert the crumpled center. Don't lie it flat against the petals.

    Hi Everyone! Wow it's been a long time. We have been very busy adjusting to our new neighborhood and remodeling our new home. It's coming along, but there is still a lot more to do. Here is a breakdown of the new fonts I have made available. In order to get past the problems of character maps, I have replaced keyboard characters with designs. I hope this helps :) Happy Holidays!

    Pop Up cards Tutorial

    I'm sorry everyone, I really thought I did this years ago. Maybe it was accidentally deleted. Well here it is again. Follow these guidelines for all the pop up cards. cut out all your shapes and remove any negative space that will not be part of the finished design, like the inside of letters, between the letters and the cake decorations. fold the backing along the perforated lines glue around the outside of the design and the bottom part. For the other pop up cards (valentine, train, spring, etc) glue the parts that will not be protruding (in between the letters) glue the front to the backing sandwich the paper with the opening away from you = down sandwich with the opening toward you = up fold along the perforated lines. For the birthday card you will be folding, from the bottom of the design,  up, down, up, down, etc. Sort of like an accordion. The card will start to form a right angle as you go. When you fold the card closed you will want
