I learned how to make the flowers at Perfect Day Scrapbooking's all day black Friday crop from a very nice lady. This you tube video shows how to make a similar flower. I used 4 inch squares of paper and instead of folding the two side triangles down with the "back pattern" showing, I just folded it the opposite way. Also I used a low temp hot glue gun not the tombow multi glue.I also used from heavy to thin weights of paper, a medium weight seems to work best.

Some of the flowers in bouquets. I used faux pearls and colored beads in the centers and glitter glue along the edges of the petals. Ranger's stickles and Viva Decor glitter liner worked best.
I will post later about how I am doing my gift wrapping and cards. Hope your holidays are merry!
