Making These Mini Paper Dahlias is Easy!

I found the perfect way to channel the intense color and festive attitude of this beautiful Dahlia flower into an easy but delightful paper craft. 

And today, I'm sharing them with you!

– 65 pound cardstock  – Scissors  – Cutting machine   – Glue gun  – Shaping mat and tool set – Thin wood dowel  – 18 gauge wire  – Templates

Supplies

Cut out all 8 of your petals. Cutting machine is recommended but PDFs are included for those who wish to hand cut.

Instructions

Using your thin wood dowel (or a spare glue stick) roll each petal tip around so it curls to the shape of the dowel.

Using your Paper Blooms rolling tools and shaping mat cup the centers so the petals stand up more. 

Begin stacking and gluing 6 of the petal layers. Save the last two layers for later. Add a small dot of glue to the center of one petal layer and place another dahlia layer on top.

Next, bend the tip of your 18 gauge wire at a 90-degree angle and form a small circle.
