All Those Five Petal Flowers...............A Tutorial

Hi everyone! Tonight I want to share with you, on what you can do with all those five petal flowers that we buy in bulk. We buy them and then think OMG! What am I going to do with all these flowers?
1.) Turn the flowers over so the raised side of the petals are on the bottom.
2.) Take the first flower and add glue to the center, then pull all the petals up and to the center.

3.) You'll need four more flowers to be able to make a full open rose.
4.) Every time you add a flower, off set the petals.





 5.) Add the last flower.
 6.) After you add that last flower, it should look like this.

I hope this helps to condense some of the stash that's sitting around on your desk, like it helped me.
Thank you for the visit. Hugs to all! Brenda

    1. I picked these up in N.C. a couple of years ago and decided I needed to do something with them. I had too many! So, I thought I'll make roses out of them! They are in a lot of the scrapbook stores, in big containers. I haven't noticed if Hobby Lobby has them. Maybe? Thanks for stopping by. Hugs

  5. This is genius, Brenda! I have so many of these flat-petaled flowers. I usually glue and offset a couple of layers, but I've never thought to turn them into gorgeous roses like this! THANK YOU!! Hugs, Darnell
