Paper Dogwood Flowers

We picked a new faux bloom this season. Four-petaled paper dogwood flowers offer a way to enjoy spring year-round. Making them calls for basic folds and cuts -- no pruning required. Stamp on the details, affix to a branch, and display in a vase or on a table as an everlasting centerpiece.

The How-To
Cut card stock into 5-inch squares. Fold a square in half, then fold in half again. Open square, and crease diagonally, reversing direction of fold; repeat to make another diagonal crease.
Fold square back up along original creases. Trace petal template onto square.
Cut out along open edges. Snip off a tiny bit of pointed tip; unfold flower.
With an unused pencil eraser and green ink, stamp small marks at indents on each petal.
Use a starburst-style stamp to mark center. Cut out leaves from green card stock. Secure flowers and leaves to branches with clear craft glue.

How to Make a Twig Star Tree Topper

• Branches
• Hot Glue
• Branch cutters
• Twine
• Scissors
• Cut one twig to be 10 inches long. Take a second twig and cut it to 8 inches long.Cut two final twigs to 6 inches long each.

  Lay the 10-inch twig on a flat work surface. It should be running vertical.
• Lay the 8-inch twig across the 10-inch twig, running horizontally. This stick should be about 4 inches down from the top of the twig. Use hot glue to hold the stick in place.
• Take one of the inch twigs and glue it in across the center of the twig cross point at a diagonal. Use the hot glue to glue this twig behind the 10-inch stick.
• Glue the final 6-inch twig across the center of the twigs, running in the opposite diagonal from the first 6-inch twig. This twig should be glued onto the front of the star made from twigs.
