![]() ![]() You know I love paper flowers! We’ll just add these folded paper sunflowers to the list of paper flowers that I’ve made and fallen in love with! How to Make Folded Paper Sunflowers ![]() I found them the other day when I was searching through the drive for something else and I decided to create a blog post. ![]() I really love them, but I decided that they weren’t quite right for the theme of my book, so I scrapped them and have been letting the photos gather cyber dust on my photo archives hard drive. These folded paper sunflowers were one of the very first crafts I made on the floor of my office that day. It took months and I still don’t know how I did it!? Once I got started, I found a groove, but getting over that mental hurdle of creating the first few crafts for the book was really tough! It was a dark, rainy day in early May, the kids were at school, and I was sitting on the floor, freaking out about paper flowers! Eventually I made 5 crafts (out of 72!) for the book, then 12 crafts, then 42 crafts, then 60 crafts (I tried to convince my publisher to let me stop at that point, but they insisted I needed at least 70 crafts), then 68 and FINALLY 72 crafts. It was a scary amount of pressure! I made 2 or 3 different paper flowers that day, just experimenting with techniques, trying to come up with the best projects to include in my book. I was sitting on my office floor (where I do all my best craft projects!), surrounded by craft supplies, trying to work up the nerve to get started. And at the point when I made these folded paper sunflowers I had made zero crafts for my book. My publisher said I had to create at least 70 crafts that had never been published on the blog. I was overwhelmed last year before I started writing my book, Low-Mess Crafts for Kids. These folded paper sunflowers are so easy to make! It’s crazy what you can make with just a few folds of paper! They’re the perfect craft for late summer or fall! These flowers are bright, beautiful and lots of fun to make! ![]()
