Folded Flower Border

If you are like me when flower were first introduced to the scrapbooking world you bought them all!!! Now more embellished and detailed flowers on the market (and they are beautiful!) but dont give up on your original flowers yet, here is a unique way to put them to use!




This is a gift card holder I made and but I want to show you how to create the flower border so you can replicated it on a layout, card or any other project! Its easy!




Select your flower (the amount will depend on the size of your flower and the length of your border). I have chosen 2 colors and I will alternate them.



Fold your flower in half.



Fold your flower in half again.



Glue dot your folded flower to the back side of your border.




Repeat this process until your border is full!!



And their you have a fun new border!

Enjoy!

    Another reason why your blog is one I visit daily. You give us so much inspiration! Love today's little tutorial. Simple but so much fun to make and use. One of those "why didn't I think of this?" moments.
