I loved this idea and it sounds like it would be easy even for someone like me who doesn't have much experience making flowers. Thanks I'm going to try this.

How many of the larger size do you use before going on to the next size?

[WhatYouMakeIt1]

@marylizart Thanks for stopping by. Because I was alternating between tissue paper and book paper it was pretty random...but I always used at least 2 pieces of tissue paper and one piece of book paper of each size. So when I use JUST tissue paper I use 3-4 of each size because they will make fuller looking flowers. Hope that helps! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

@marylizart I was going from large to small -- but I was alternating between tissue paper and book pages - which may have made it seem like I was alternating sizes as well. They are super fun - and make your projects really pop.

Luv this! Were you going from small to large and then back to small?

@tuffytuffers For sure you can cut them by hand....or if you have a scallop punch -- that will work too!
