and this is an example of the flower made with the die.....
Now, if you would rather not buy a die for your flowers, you can always make them according to the following instructions and still get the same results.....
Step 1: Before beginning, decide how wide you would like your accordion to be. If you want it to span 2 inches, then cut your paper 1 inch. If you would like it 3 inches, cut your paper 1 1/2 inches. Measurements for either would be 12"x 1" or 12"x 1.5".
Step 2: Score the paper at 1/4 inch intervals the entire length of the paper.
Step 3: Fan fold at each score mark.
Step 4: Attach glue dot or sticky strip. Glue it end to end.
Step 5. Lay the flower out. Bring the center in tightly.
***Use a circle punch and punch out a piece of the printed paper to use for the back of the flower. This keeps the flower grounded.
