Flower Power

This was my Christmas break project. I got the instructions from the Kaisercraft website and I had a great time folding these little flowers! It took me ALL day and took (from memory) six pieces of double sided, 12 x 12 pattern paper. I used Kaisercraft - Tudor. The flower ball is made from 12 origami flowers with 5 petals each so all up, I had to fold 60 flower petals! It was fun for the first hour! I'll admit, I am so happy with it though I would do it again too. I held it all together with little paperclips and bulldog clips while it dried then stuck a piece of painted dowel into the middle. The pot is just a $3 toothpaste cup from Big W and a bit of pretty ribbon!
