This week is not going to be a flower per say, because I have had requests to do something flat....and I know alot of you do not like bulk on your scrapbook pages.
You are going to start with a total of 9 squares....they can be any size you like. Mine are 1 inch..... I suggest you use 4 of one paper and 4 of another paper, and the last one can be scrap paper.
Youare going to start by placing one of your squares in the upper left hand corner of base( scrap) square. It should be half way over and half way down the base square..like this.
Next you are going to place a second square of the same paper directly to the right of it, making sure to line it up.
Now you are going to place the next 2 squares of the same paper on the bottom of your scrap square in the same manner to make a big square.
Now you are going to start adding your next paper. These will all be added on an angle. Start by placing your first piece between your first two squares on and angle so the points are up and down....I know this does not make sense without seeing the picture. It will be partially under your first square and over your second one.
Now you are going to place the rest of your squares all the way around in the same fashion. Making sure to over and under lap each one.
At this point you have a completed flat pinwheel flower.....ypu can embellish any way you like.
I added a gem to the center of mine.
And since I kinda like dimension and bulk I lifted the corners of each my squares and placed a pop dot underneath each one.
Then when I added it to my layout I added a star underneath my gem, and some stickles. I also used a second smaller one on page 2 of my layout.
Here they are on my completed pages.
As always if you create a project inspired by this tutorial, please upload it to this thread by midnight next Thursday...June 10th and you may just get win yourself some random points.
