napkin flowers

i found this tutorial from {here} and loved it so much that i must share it. 

i got my napkins from the $1 store but dana says that she got her incredibly cute ones from ikea, i must take the 20 minute drive asap. 

what you need:

napkins and twisty ties, i got mine from a garbage bag box. you could also use string, yarn, fishing line. whatever you have lying around the house.

step numero 1:

unfold and lay your napkins down. i did 4 layers.

step 2:

cut the middle napkins to whatever size you like. be sure to scallop the edges to give it that peddle look.

step 3:

accordion fold the napkins like so.

step 4:

 place the twisty tie in the middle of the folded napkins

step 5:

cut both ends to make them rounded

step 6:

 pull out the corners then take your first layer of napkin and pull up towards the center

 once you have pulled up all of the layers it should look like this then you are finished!

you could also try making little ones.

i think this is such a fun idea for a baby shower or bridal shower. 

cheap and cute!
