you use blue ink right i use it and glue it but its all stuck together can u help me please
Aug 3, 2011. 5:44 AMtphillips1 says:
you have to alternate the floer tips that you glue
Mar 17, 2011. 11:06 AMChrysla says:
Only apply glue on the ink dots - not all over the section. So - just one drop of glue on top of the blue dots. Hope this helps!

The first picture ( which shows what you should have in the end ) and the last picture doesnt match.
In the first picture, the papers look like flowers.
But in reality, they look like stars.

This is a pretty neat idea, and a life saver for mothers day!

I should note a few things:

1) First of all this video can seem a bit misleading. It would appear the petals are all glued in the same place, an error  I myself commited a few minutes ago, which leads to the flower not popping. You are supposed to glue one petal, skip one, glue the other. You should have 4 petals with glue and 4 without glue. On the next flower, you glue the petals you left unglued on the previous flower.

2) It is extremely important that you follow the same pattern in the final flower. I thought since it was only half a flower, you could just glue the two petals on one side. The glue on the final flower is what makes the entire thing pop. So basically Im telling you, that on that final flower, it is important that you follow through with the pattern of gluing. I committed this mistake twice, which resulted in my flower not popping properly.

Anyway, its a super idea, and I love it!

Thanks Keith, I chedked the video very closely and noticed the gluing method. To put it in a simple way, there are 8 points [Eg 1, 2, 3,....8] in a flower. For 1st flower, put glue in points 1, 3, 5, 7 and centre. Next flower put glue in points 2, 4, 6, 8 and centre. Contineu to put gfue in this alternate style. Very important else flowers will not open up as shown.

Also, my own didnt pop properly because I kinda tore it a bit due to my frustration caused by the error previously mentioned.

When you cut the flowers, youll notice some triangles are produced. You can use these on the corners of the card for a nice and quick border :D

I tried to make this several times but when it gets finished the last half flower doesn't get glued.... I tried using fevicol, double sided tape, and glue drops but none work...please tell me what to do.

I like this amazing idea, but I would like to add a ballerina coming out of the flower. Do you have any idea on how to do that?
Apr 6, 2009. 7:26 PMpinkyo says:
I hate to bother you again, but could you send me that email address about making a ballerina. Somehow, my reply from you is no longer in my inbox. I did get a chance to read your reply and now I can't locate the website address you sent me for the ballerina. I am the one who is interested in making the ballerina come up from the flower or pop out of the flower.Please, Please send the website address to me again. Thank you so much.
Mar 26, 2009. 10:15 PMLance Mt. says:
You'd need to make the ballerina (try googling oragmi ballerina or 4chan.org/po/imgboard) that will fold in enough so that it isn't crushed, you'd then just glue it. -Hope I helped, Chris
Apr 8, 2009. 3:05 PMpinkyo says:
Thanks again! You have been a wonderful help to me on this project. I will be watching for more of your videos. Matter of fact, do you have anything on making flower stems and leaves? Let me know soon.
