Cut six 3x3 squares. Fold diagonal to form a triangle. Fold each bottom point to the center tip of the triangle forming a square. Unfold the two edges putting it back into the original triangle fold. Fold each edge inward so the previous fold becomes the center of the edges. Turn over & trim off the excess. Turn back over and fold in the outer edges. Squeeze the folds together & set with Hot glue. Repeat this for a total of six petals. Glue them all together to form the flower.
I saw some friends at my local craft store making six total flowers and gluing them together to form one huge ornament for the Christmas tree. I thought I would try this folding technique to make a 3-D Christmas gift tag. It came out lovely :)

Just a few more days until Christmas! Pretty soon I will be in the kitchen attempting culinary masterpieces, LOL- wish me luck!
I want to thank you for visiting my blog through the years! I have so much fun having a place to share my crafty creations. And, it would not be as much fun for me to do if I didn't have such wonderful friends to visit and share in the love of all things crafty with me! I hope you all have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS! Blessings of the Season to each and every one of you!
