Simple Paper Flowers

Step 2 Cut out a petal and crumple.

Cut out a petal and crumple. Simple eh? The crumpling makes the paper more pliable. Then just shape the petal into the form of the center bloom.

I have done this and it is great. Here's a variation on this theme. Take white paper napkins (from the dollar store), scrunch up in an ball and dip them in a bowl of water with red or yellow food coloring. Gently squeeze the water out, and open them up to dry. They dry with a beautiful mottled look to them. You then follow the directions to make the flowers above. The results are really stunning.
