  • Using fringe or regular scissors cut small slits down the entire length of the folded side.
  • Then, open the rectangle up and reverse the fold and glue the two non-fringed ends together.

  • Trim stem down if you wish.

  • Starting with the slightly 3 smaller petals use a thin dowel to curl the edges of the petals backwards. Use your fingers to slightly crease the bottom center of the petals.
  • Add glue to the bottom tip of the petal and glue it around the magnolia yellow stamen and pinch firmly until dry.
  • Curl and slightly crease the remaining petals like we did with the first 3. Glue your next petals with the placement in between the first 3 to create a blooming effect.

  • Keep adding one petal at a time till you have used the remaining 6 or 7 depending on how you feel the flower looks.
  • Repeat the last 2 steps until you feel the flower is fairly even.

  • To finish the bottom of the magnolia cut about 6-8 inches of corsage tape. Add a small bit of glue at the base of one of the petals then wrap the corsage tape down the stem.

I made about 8 of these magnolias and they are currently nestled on my mantel with a garland of magnolia leaves! I think it would be lovely to add these to a front door wreath. And a vase full would be there perfect house warming gift! How else would you use these magnolias?

Enjoy this fun piece of southern flair! Let me know how it turned out!
