Awesome folded flower

That is cool Jo! It is like making one of those cootey catches from when I was a kid!!!

ummmm, what's a cootie catcher? LOL

You know that game thing you did as a kid, where you made the first part of the flower, then added numbers, and you had to count the numbers, move your fingers.. then read something written inside!! Have to go make one to show you!

Ohhhh I know that game - we called it Chinese something or other ... you are right, reminded me of it too!

That is a beautiful flower, I am going to have to get some of that paper and try those for sure.

I guess in Southern Alberta in the '60's it was called "cootie catcher".. really not sure why!!! LOL!!!!!!!!

Not sure we had a name for it but I know what you mean Helen.

Those are great flowers. I think I have some mulberry paper here too.

Wow, I love making these flowers, they are so easy. I am going to try them with regular paper and see how it works because Mulberry paper is hard to find around here and they only had this colour and yellow where I did find it. I like the way this one turned out though.

Very nice Jackie.

Thanks Gail

So cool Jackie!!!!!!!!

OMG JACKIE that is gorgeous ... now you got me wanting to make them! LOL

Thanks Carol and Helen.
Carol they are really really easy to make. The fun is in the shaping them after they are made

Yours turned out great Jackie. Great minds must think alike, I made some of these this morning. Check out my layout tomorrow on the challenge Monday and see the ones I made.

Colleen have you tried using regular paper and if so does it work

I haven't tried, I think it might be a bit heavy. What if we tried the lighter weight 12x 12 pp, do you think that would work?
