Here is a tutorial for a quick and easy folded flower.
Here's what you'll need:
Two Sided Paper
Circle Punch - Any Size - this will be the size of your finished flower.
Glue
Brad or Button
1.) Cut 5 circles from two sided paper.
2.) Fold 4 circles in half. I drew where the folds should be on the sample circle next to the folded sample.
3.) Fold the same 4 circles in half the opposite way.
4.) Fold the circles in half again.
5.) Fold in the two opposite sides of the circle to form a triangle.
6.) Glue the four triangles on to the last circle.
7.) Bend the flower petals back on all four triangles.
8.) Attach a fancy brad or button to the center to finish your flower. You can use these for scrap booking, card making, or even simple magnets for your fridge. The hardest part is deciding which side of your pretty paper you want to show! Have fun!

Supplies Used:
Hole Punch Fiskars
