This project made Cricut Chirp. They did only show one pic

Instructions take any 6 petal flat flower. Cut a slit in between one petal up to center point as shown in top flower.
cut one petal completely out as shown in #2, Cut 2 petals competely out as shown in #3.

Now overlap all flowers and glue with favorite strong glue and hold shut with paper clips until dry. Cut off just a little tiny piece of each flowers bottom to get rid of the point, so when you assemble them later they will sit inside each other and stand up straight. I did forget to take a picture of the bottom, but the piece was so small that i cut off not sure if you could see it.

This is the 2 petals you cut out of the 3rd flower in the first photo, overlap and glue.
Now you should have 4 parts to your flower.  assemble by starting the largest flower and glue inside it the next largest and so on. they will stack inside each other to form the rose.

Paint any craft stick you like for the stem. push through the flower in bottom center. I used strong glue dots for this
Brush on your favorite glue with paint brush or spray glue and sprinkle with glitter to match flowers.
I could not find a vase at home I wanted so I wrapped in red tissue paper and tied white ribbon. The next photo shows the vase

I think this is really cute. I'd like to try it with gumpaste on my crocus cake. Did you use a flower from a cartridge or svg?

Oh Wow Chris,
These look great. I may need to try this myself. Down the road. Not now, have too much going on right now. I'm going to put a link for this up on my blog hope that's okay. That way I can find it easier.

Take Care.

That webcast was wild yesterday. I didn't know I needed to open up another screen. So, I had a big disadvantage!!! But, next time I will be more prepared. I'm new to all of this.

Thanks for sharing. What did you use to create the roses? It looks like vinyl.

I LOVE THESE! I have seen them but didn't know how to make them! Thanks so much for the instructions!

Chris, these are beautiful and thank you for making that reference over on FB that you had the rose steps here on your blog. Thank you so much. I have this set of punches I bought ages ago on the mainland and transported backto Hawaii and this technique will work so well with those punches. They are graduations of a flower.
