Quick guide : Paper Dahlia decorate your home on a budget

-



























Paper Dahlia

For the cardboard backing, I cut a circle from the side of an empty cereal box and I used heavy duty cardstock to create the flower petals. Here is what you will need to get started:


















  • cardboard
  • cardstock-I used cream colored
  • hot-glue gun
  • scissors
  • tinted spray paint
  • garden twine

First you will want to make a bunch of the petals. To make the petals, cut a piece of card stock into a 6" (approximate) square. Roll it and hot glue the edge into place.


















Begin to hot glue the paper petals in a circular fashion on the outer edges of the circular piece of cardboard. Flattening the bottoms of the petals helps to glue them in place. Stagger the petals so that the next layer can sit between the lower petals. Continue working in the same fashion into the center of the flower, building upon the previous lower layer of petals.



















As you move to the center of the paper dahlia, you will cut smaller squares of paper to achieve the more delicate smaller petals in the center of the flower. Next gently flip the flower over and hot glue a bit of garden twine on the back of the cardboard cirlcle to make a loop for hanging. Now it's time for paint!



















Working in a well ventilated area, gently spray the tips of the flower petals with the tinted spray paint. Allow it to dry thoroughly. Once dry, it's ready for hanging.




















For a fun conversation piece and big impact, try making a few of these flowers to display for a unique and three-dimensional wall feature.

Things you might not know about me Howdy…Howdy… I’m working on my first cup of coffee this morning and I’ve decided to use today’s post to have a bit of fun… People oftentimes forget that business should be fun. So much of what’s written online today lacks any sense of personal connection. Most people are simply afraid to REALLY be themselves. So instead they try to act ‘professional’ and all of they’re writing comes out dry and dull. Or, even worse, they try to be like someone else – and they end up looking like a bad Elvis impersonator… The ‘bloated’ version with a lousy voice. Not pretty! So let’s put away the Elvis costume and bring out the real McCoy! Raw…Rebel…Quirky…and 100% human. So in order to prove that I’m not a robot that stays locked in a marketing laboratory all day, I’ve decided to share 10 of my own quirks, habits, and closely guarded secrets… 1. I have a HUGE Afrikaans family with a lot of crazy cousins. If you’ve ever seen the movie

 First of all, Hi :) This is my first ever blog post on my first ever blog, so please forgive me. I want to start off my introducing myself. My name will remain unknown and you shall know me as H.M.S. (I'm a closeted  blogger [for now]). I am from South Africa and grew up in a small country town with beautiful  views, but that  is about it. My parents didn't have the resources to send me to college  or university, so as soon as I was finished with high school I started the search for a job. I don't know how difficult  it is where you are from, but here if you don't have the correct appearance  or qualifications it is extremely difficult  to find any kind of work. I was still dating my high school sweetheart by that time and he put in a good word for me with his work and so I started working there. I have been working here ever since. It has been really difficult as I received minimum wage, because I didn't have any work experience. Just moved in with my par
