You will need:
2 strips of the same paper measuring 8 x 2inches
2 strips of a coordinating paper measuring 8 x 1 and 1/2 inches
Any border punch
Hot glue gun
Double stick tape
Circle punch
Cut paper strips. Punch one side of each of the 4 strips with any of your favorite border punches. Score each piece at each inch. Turn strip over and score at each half inch. This will give you peaks and valleys which will make the accordion folding very easy.
Accordion fold each piece and attach the 2 like strips to each other at both ends using double stick tape or any glue that you prefer. Using double stick tape makes an instant bond and allows you to move on to the next step immediately.
Lay the paper ring on your work surface punched edge down. Push down on the center to create the rosette.
Add a bead of hot glue to both sides of the rosette.
Use a piece of silicone, if you have it, to flatten the bead of hot glue. This will make the second rosette lay flat on top of the larger one.
Attach the two circles together, attach a punched circle to cover up the hot glue and then embellish however you like.
I hope that helps. If you make some, let me know.
I'd love to see them!
