Handmade Flower Tutorial by Zulma

Supplies needed:

1. Martha Stewart punches - Hydrengia (25 pcs aprox., small size) and maple leave (5 pcs)

2. Marvy 1" circle punch (2 pcs)

3. stylus or paint brush

4. glue

5. twizzers

6. gel pen or any kind of paint(stickles, markers, chalk, etc.)

Take one circle and make small cuts around it, save the other for final step.

Put circle in a foam base and with your stylus make circular motions to end with a semi-circle and do the same with the mini flowers.
Now, use your favorite glue and twizzers to attach the flower starting with the base or bottom of the semi-circle.

Continue gluing the flower around the circle and finish at the top.
Glue 5 leaves to the second circle and make small dots in the center of each flower with gel pen .
Glue flowers to the leave base. This is the result. Isn't a cutie.
