Simple Kraft Flowers

Hi everyone! Today I'm here to share with you how to make super simple kraft flowers. All you need to make this stunning embellishment is:  

• a recycled brown bag or a brown lunch bag 
• decorative brads 
• glimmer mist (or shimmer/glitter spray) 
• flower punch

To make flower:

Grab a bag and a medium and/or small flower punch

Punch away

Spray punched flowers with glimmer mist

After flowers are dry, crumple them up (If you have little ones asking to help, this is the perfect job for them;)

Gently flatten your flowers back out, stack together, and punch a hole through the center

Secure with a decorative brad

Voila! A super quick, easy (and green if you use what you have on hand;) embellishment for your card or scrapbook page!
