Here is what I created:


Isn't my little Taylor the cutest! Here is the close up of my SCALLOPED PUNCHED FLOWER:


These are so simple and easy to make... here is a little tutorial for you:

Gather your materials:

Materials needed: Scalloped punch, scrap sheet of paper, ink, twine or button rope, glue, scissors, button, and a small paint brush or skewer (for rolling the petals).

Step One: Punch out the flower, and cut into the centre on every two scallops:
Step Two: Push down in the centre of the flower and ink around them if desired.

Step Three:

Roll the petals back with the paintbrush. Push down in the centre of the flower with your thumb again. Thread a knot with some twine through your button.


Step four: Attach button to your flower.... and voila!


You can also change the flower centre with rosettes or stickers or layer them with circles.... the possibilities are endless!
