I'm always making flowers for one project or another. You can use them on cards, collage,altered art etc...
I decided to make flowers out of used dryer sheets. Just save them up until you have several. Mix up a dye bath, here I used food coloring. Dump the sheets in and swish them around a couple of minutes. Take them out and lay out flat to dry. Fold them in fourths and just eyeball to cut circles about 2-3". Stack 4-5 layers and either run a needle and thread through the center taking a little pleat or use your glue gun. Add a button or jewel to finish the center. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of the final flower. OH well, another time.
