-1 sheet of grey and white polka dot scrapbooking paper.
Don’t cut all the way through though!Leave about 1/4″ at the bottom uncut so all your petals stay held together!.
This is me trying to hold it in place so you could see what I did.I really should have remembered to take pictures when I had Kennedy helping me.I need more hands!.
You can also mix it up and do the same type of cuts on the non-folded side.. Use a bead of hot glue along the whole length of your strip to keep it folded in half .. Now comes the fun part where it all comes together!Start rolling your flower up, using hot glue as you go to hold everything together.. Get the Kids Involved.
When I made these with kids, I would have them cut their strips and cut their petals, and then I would have them come over to the “gluing station” so they could have me glue their flower for them.
I would just ask them if it looked good to them and if they liked how I was rolling the flower as I went and that way they felt like they were still very much involved in the process.They used a cherry picker to remove all the smaller branches from up top.. Then they had this super tall boom truck crane thing to hold on to the larger pieces as they removed them so they could be set down in a controlled way.
It really was super impressive!I don’t know if you can tell from this picture but that was a huuuge branch!.
It really only took them about 2 hours to completely remove that tree, wood and all, from our property..When all that was left was a stump, we had another guy come in with a stump grinder and grind it all down to a pile of wood chips..
