Step 1: Gather supplies

Template : the template for this project can be downloaded from the Canon website here
The instructions can also be downloaded there, but I found them rather lacking. So that's why I decided to put this instructable together.
Glue: I used both a glue stick (not pictured) and Aleene's Tacky Glue
(I find Tacky Glue much easier to use if I pour some in a plastic tray and use a toothpick to spread it)
Scissors: you can use a pair of regular scissors, but you might also like to use a pair of shorter detail scissors, like those pictured.
Stylus
Ruler

I made these to use instead of bow on a baby shower gift. They were beautiful.
Every one thought they were so pretty.

Wow. These are amazing. My parents don't know I have a date to my dance, and I know I need flowers THESE ARE GREAT! Sitting in my room with a glue stick, a Bill Pokemon card as a ruler and a pair of scissors, I put together the best damn looking corsage I've ever seen.

And just a tip. If you're gluing the petals together (folding, step 3), it helps to make sure you've got it lined up right by having a light nearby to hold it up to.

Hi! Thanks for the compliment! I saw the project template on Canon's Creative Park website and downloaded it. They also have instructions for this project, but they weren't very good, so I just experimented and changed things a bit as I went along. Thanks for looking!

Thanks for the compliments! I actually ended up giving this to my sister-in-law to wear at her bridal shower and she loved it. Here's a picture of her wearing it!
