Hello again my fair ladies....just wanted to share a quick and easy flower tut....was playing around with some craft ribbon I bought for Easter and happened on to this fun little flower...
circle punch, I used a 1" (or cut with cricut)
scissors
card stock
hot glue
wired craft ribbon 2 1/2" in width
assorted buttons

I found tons of this craft ribbon in lots of spring colors at the local all for a dollar store...
Cut two pieces of ribbon 1 @ 20 inches and 1 @ 10 inches...
I found it helpful to pull a bit of wire from each end and fold it over, this way I didn't 'lose' it in the ribbon.
Start gathering the ribbon into a circle...
Once you have it as tight as it will go tie off the wire...
Do this to both sides, trim the wire...this is what you will end up with...
Now...repeat this on the other piece of ribbon...
Grab your card stock circle...
Your ribbon button accents are adorable-- that hot pink polka dot one is too much!!! I can wait to see the LO you do with them!
