DIY Paper Flowers with Hearts

Hope you are all having a great weekend! Paper flowers – what’s not to love, right? Many gorgeous DIYs out there and the Silhouette Online Store has an amazing selection. But today, I thought I would share how I created my own from a simple shape – a heart. Want to see how I did it?

The How

I had the heart in a speech bubble shape in my library which I opened and used in Silhouette Studio. Then I rotated 3 copies (after moving the center point); welded them together; added a tiny circle and sent to cut using cardboard settings.

Once the flowers were cut, I scored and molded to add dimension. For the stem, I knotted one end of a piece of hemp cord and threaded through the hole. That’s it! Have you used any other shapes to create your own flowers?

Hi Maritza, these are simply the best. Just adorable little flowers. I love your choice of natural tones as well. Simple does it. Thank you for putting a smile on my face by sharing these little darlings at our linky party!
