From the Designer: "Make these and other pretty paper flowers to decorate your space, or to give as gifts. I made this project to add color and a touch of whimsy to my home office/studio. These are easy to make with the patterns and downloadable SVG files in the Leisure Arts Paper Flowers book. I used the SVG files with my Cricut to save lots of time. The same flowers can be made by hand cutting with the patterns in the book. All I needed was paper, adhesive, and Glitter Paint to add the sparkling touch."
