Spiky Flower

For this flower follow the basic 6-petal flower instructions but cut 2 rows of the large petals and 1 of the smaller. If you are having trouble assembling it, please let me know and I will make more specific instructions.
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.

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!

    Monogram Key strokes

    Hey everyone! This is only for this basic style monograms shown. For all the other styles please use lowercase, uppercase, lowercase. I am going to be doing a series of monogram fonts that will make customizing your own monogram super easy. The font is already set up to place the letters within the design. All you have to do is refer to the chart below in order to place the letters in the correct sequence. In order to make this font work I had to replace numbers and some punctuation with the last letter of the monogram. I hope you enjoy them and it makes your life easier.  First Letter: Uppercase letters (use the keys A-Z with the shift key or caps lock) Second Letter: Lowercase letters (use the keys a-z) Third Letter:  A= 0 B= 1 C= 2 D= 3 E= 4 F= 5 G= 6 H= 7 I= 8 J= 9 K= !
