Paper flowers (handmade)

Paper, scissors, glimmer mist, glue, tiny beads is what I used to make this pretty!!
I have been playing and learning how to make paper flowers and I have found a trick to making them turn out perfect just like the prima flowers (nothing can replace the Great prima flowers they are to die for) but sometimes you want a color flower to match your work, or you want the homemade touch well this is the way to go......
tip:
little trick is to spray with glimmer mist, wipe off excess a little spray with fabric starch, wipe off excess shape flower around a piece of tinfoil shaped like a cone shape-using the heat tool-heat the flower and it will shrink around the foil and holds it shape...whoola you have one flower-

I took a scallop punch big and small one, punched out of paper, glimmer misted to get the right color-I used coffee shop, pashmina!! the paper is pink crumpled texture.

this flower is out of cardstock pattern paper, love the polk a dots-this was my third try...not bad, my first attempt and second I could not show you. sooo bad.... I found it gets easier the more you play and make them....
