They are super easy to make. All you need are book pages (I used newspaper that I sprayed with Archival mist), adhesive (I used hot glue), scissors, and something to embellish the middle.
First I drew the shape on to the paper and cut out 2 pieces.
Then I kind of pinched (both flower shapes) the paper and made creases so that the finished flower would have a little texture:
Then I hot glued the 2 shapes together and finished it off with a button:
This project cost me absolutely nada. I had everything just sitting around!

Hi Stephie- You are so creative. Working with newspaper is always fun, but I never have seen this. I especially like how you pleated each cutout before gluing together, that little detail makes the flower pop and so cute.
