Mandy's Final DT Post

Hi Everyone!!  I’m back with one more project!!  I also wanted to use this post to say goodbye L

I had to cut my final term with Donna short, due to my personal life being so crazy busy right now.  I have enjoyed being on Donna’s team for close to three years as a guest designer and then a regular designer.  It was so fun and these girls have all been amazing!! They are super talented and inspirational!!  I will miss working with all of them!!

For my last little project, I made a flower, which I don’t do very often.  This particular flower can be used for many different kinds of projects.  I made a larger one for my daughters hair and I downsized another one just a little to do a tutorial on it.  My daughter calls these her Loopsy Flower, so that’s what I called it too.

You will need eight 1/2"x4" strips of your favorite paper.  (For the larger flower, like the one I made for Brooky, use twelve 1/2"x6" strips of paper)

Distress and Ink your edges.

 Fold your paper in half and glue.  I used little glue dots for mine.

 Next fold another piece and overlap the first loop as shown below.  About a 1/2" overlapped.

 Continue around the flower as shown in the next few photos.

 Next you can decorate the middle however you like and you are all done.

Here are a couple more shots of her with the flower I did for her.  I just used a couple bobby pins to fasten it to her hair.
