3. Wrap Band around Dragonflies & Birds Gift, adhering ends together with Tear & Tape

Creating the Flowers:

choice


3. Cut each DSP into a square: 5” x 5”; 4” x 4”; 3” x 3” or any other sizes you choose

to layer


4. Starting with the largest Square place the wrong side facing upward,

fold over in a Triangle 3 times; burnish each fold with Bone Folder


5. Hold the folded DSP together with the point at the bottom, the folded edge on the right

& the loose ends at the top


Cut a half circle from the right to the left side, lining up the points on both sides

(Note:  the shape will look like an ice cream cone)


6. Unfold the Triangle to view the Flower design; if the flowers are uneven, you can

refold & trim where needed for your desired Flower look


7. Repeat this process for the remaining DSP size squares


Optional:

1. Punch or Die Cut any Flowers you may have from DSP for a variety of

shapes or patterns.


Adhering the Flowers:

1. Adhere the Basic White Circle to the back center of the largest Flower with Liquid Glue


2. Layer the Flowers from the largest to the smallest, lining up any one way patterns;

Adhere Flowers together with Stampin’ Dimensions or Liquid Glue
