To celebrate our brand new crepe paper and floral dies being released, I wanted to show you guys step by step of how to construct a Sizzix crepe paper flower! Along with tips on how to shade, sculpt and manipulate the crepe paper to make a gorgeous, realistic looking flower than can be used for many different projects from a full bouquet to a gift wrap embellishment.

You Will Need...

1. To make the Sizzix Crepe Paper Rose, die cut the multiple petal sizes from a medium pink coloured crepe paper making sure the grain of crepe paper runs from top to bottom of the die cut.

2. Use the hibiscus creamy acrylic paint and a paintbrush to add shading to each petal ensuring that the paper does not get too wet otherwise it will distort slightly.

3. After letting the petals fully dry you can now take each petal and use the fold and form tool to curve the toped of each petal back. You can then gently pull the petals using your thumbs to create a cup shape to each petal.

4. Cut a small oval from the crepe paper and cover a medium sized bead (wooden or polystyrene) by stretching the crepe paper over the bead and securing inlace with hot glue. Use this time to secure the stem to the bead also.
