How to Create Accordian Folded Flowers

I have received MANY questions about how to create these flowers or medallions/lollies as they are being called, so here is a photo tutorial for you!

Just BE SURE to use the Simply Scored Tool and you will get a gorgeous project every time!

Accordion-folded Flower Directions: 1) Cut card stock or Designer Series paper to 12" x 3/4". 2) Score strip every 1/4" the entire length of the card stock and accordion fold the score lines. 3) Adhere ends of card stock together (Sticky Strip works well). Let dry. 4) Holding the card stock with two hands, twist one edge of the strip into the center as shown to create a flower shape. 5) Adhere a punched circle to the flower center on one or both sides (Pop-Up Glue Dots work well) to hold shape in place. Tip: Experiment with different sizes and score intervals to create the desired shape of your flower. I like using a GLUE GUN to glue the punched circle center to the back of the accordian and then to my project because it's fast, and actually "sticks"
