How-To: Make Newspaper Flowers

I grew up around newspapers (my dad was in the business) and I always loved the smell and feel of newsprint and ink. Jessica from How About Orange has a great tutorial for transforming bits of newspaper into adorable flowers to adorn just about anything. I think it could be fun to do this with a scraps from a paper from a significant date or event as a gift.

Thanks, ladies! I misread her post and thought there was a tutorial. I apologize for the error. I'll take some time this weekend to see if I can dig up a tutorial for similar flowers for y'all. :)

Thanks!

I didn't see any tutorial for these flowers. The article linked says she made them using the book Paper Flowers by Michael LaFosse.

Tutorial?

Is there an actual tutorial for the flowers? Looks like just a link to a book and a tutorial to make the basket. Shame - they look like a lot of fun to make.
