After Five Tree Decoration

By Spotlight

Use various papers from the After Five collection to cut out a number of various sized flowers from this page. Cluster and adhere groups of flowers on the tree. Use a combination of handmade (instructions below) cut out flowers cut out acetate leaves and adhere using some strong glue.

Attach pearl brads and pearls to the centres of the cut out flowers and add black pearl flourishes to complete.

Step 1

Cut a circle and then cut a spiral towards the centre. Ink or distress outside edges of the spiral if desired.

Step 2

Lightly dampen or mist paper with water/glimmer mist to soften. Crumple circle and slightly roll over the outside edges. Work towards the centre.

Step 3

Starting from the outside edge of the circle roll and work towards the centre, ensuring the edges are still slightly folded over to create the curved petals. If you think your rose is wound too tightly let it go slightly until you and happy. Glue edges underneath so that it won’t unwind further.
