Gather your supplies. Always make sure you have all your supplies ready to go, and a clean and spacious work area for any of your craft projects. Learn more

Step 2. Cut your petals. Start by cutting out your petals and center bud pieces. I used shades of peach, coral and ivory, but your color choices depend on your preferences.

Step 3. Distress your petals. I like to add some color to the center bud and the petals because it gives the flowers dimension and it makes the petals look natural.
