Medallion Flowers Tutorial...
It’s simple and easy. All you need is some wonderful MLS paper and MLS cardstock stickers along with glue dots, stapler, scoring board, 1” circle punch and your favorite border punch.
First, cut a 1.5” x 12” strip of your favorite MLS paper, I used my favorite paper from the Harmony line called Tranquility. Using your favorite border punch, punch along a border on one side of the paper as seen below:
Then score the paper every 0.25 inches.
Then fold each of the scores to form an accordion:
Staple the ends together to form a circle
Then punch 1 inch circle and add a glue dot in the center
Place the accordion circle on top of the 1 inch circle
Here is what the back looks like
Add an MLS cardstock sticker to the center
Finish embellishing as you wish and you can create variation using different border punches.
If you get a change to try it out, go to the My Little Shoebox Facebook page and post an image of your project.
