Create 3D Paper Flowers

To make one flower you will need five paper flowers. Put one aside for the base. Do the following to each of the remaining four flowers - fold them in half (it really doesn't matter if you fold them fronts together or backs together), take two petals on the right side and fold them over to the front, take the two petals on the left side and fold them over towards the back. After all four flowers are folded, use liquid glass or a hot glue gun and adhere them to the center of the base flower - and you are done. Happy Creating!

Unfortunately, this tube of CTMH paper flowers is no longer available. I have loved these for awhile and stock piled them when CTMH announced their retirement. Currently, CTMH offers the white flower shown in a new collection (product #z1300 for $5.95) or you can find similar flowers at your local scrapbook store.

Goodie Jar

More proof that scrapbooking can take over the world! You can adhere paper and embellishments to almost any surface. This jar was headed for the recycling bin until a teacher mentioned need of a goodie container. Jar+glue+paper and a little creativity= 1 happy teacher.

$1 store Pizza Pan

An inexpensive craft made from a $1 store pizza pan. Found this paper at my local craft store, cut to fit and adhered with Mod Podge. Added chocolate velvet ribbon with a scallop to divide sections. Adhered chocolate grosgain ribbon to lip for fluidity (used glue dots). Created 3 clear marble magnets in coordinating papers for the final 'cute' touch.....and Voila...an adorable magnet board. Total cost: around $6
