Creating embellishments

The Bo Bunny DT were challenged to create their own embellishments. It's awesome to have ready made flowers, tags and swirls etc but it is always fun to create your own, especially if you don't have that one perfect embellishment that will just complete your layout or card.

Quick How To Tips:

I cut paper strips varying in width from 3/4" x 12" to 1 1/4" x 12" using a decorative edge trimmer or border punch. Then I scored between the decorative edge designs of the paper- no need to measure.

Once the strips are accordian folded attacg the ends with stong adhesive.

I find that the best way to anchor these accordian folded circles is with some hot glue applied to a punched circle, then form the pleated flower circle and press on top of the punched circle. Hold this in place for a few seconds until the glue is cool. With hot glue, you never have to worry about the pleated flower coming undone.
