So ask and you shall recieve! Here is my attempt at a tutorial on how I made the pinwheel paper flowers:
You Will Need:
*coloured/patterned paper (i am using a 180 page scrapbookers book so i get different patterns but it will look coheisive)
*scissors
*ruler/cutting mat with ruler
*glue stick
*pen
* (optional) i use a glue gun to glue on the centre circle so they are more secure
Size Options:
* Large - I use 3 full sheets, one page per fan fold, with 1 1/2 inch folds
* Medium - I use 1 sheet, divided in two, with 1 inch folds
* Small - I use 1 sheet divided into 3 but using only 2 of them (i plan in making itty bitty ones later with the left over 3rds), also 1 inch on folds
*(optional) of course changing the length of the fold with change the look of the flower, i tried mixing it up on some @ the start but found i liked the look of these the best
This example is for the medium size flower:
1. Make all measurment markings on back of paper and cut paper in half
2. Start fanfold making the fold the whole 1in deep. Repeat with second half of paper
3. Fold fan fold in half ( optional: trim top into petal shape) and then glue folded fanfold together. Repeat with second fanfold
4. Glue the 2 fans together, first on one end of fan fold then on other completing the circle.
5. Create a circle for the centre using a different colour of paper (i use the bottom of a glass/vitamin bottle/gluestick lid to get even circles) and then glue/glue gun it to the centre of your flower and Tada! A Flower!
6. Later I plan to glue gun ribbon loops on the back so that i can hang them from the sides of chairs down the aisle.
This was long but it was my first tutorial ever so I hope I did ok! hehe
