A bit of folding, some tape, and a few quick snips of the scissors turn our colorful crafting paper into these astonishing three-dimensional flowers. Start with 12 x 12in sheets for smaller blooms, or use 18 x 18in sheets for flowers on a really grand scale.

Turn 12 x 12in paper facedown. Use bone folder to score lines at the following intervals, starting from left edge: 2in, 14in, 14in, 3in, 14in, and 14in. (Note: For 18 x 18in paper, score at 23/4in, 2in, 2in, 45in, 2in, and 2in.) Fold at score lines to form two peaks as shown. Apply a 12-inch strip of tissue tape along right edge. Fold both peaks toward center followed by both edges of paper; overlap and attach edges. Score piece across middle. Apply tissue tape at edges as shown, then fold in half along score line, pressing to secure tape.

Punch holes about 4in from bottom using our Binder Hole edge punch. Trim top edge into petal shape. Repeat entire process with two more sheets of paper. Apply tissue tape to front side of one folded piece; fasten a second folded piece on top, and repeat with the third to form a taped stack of three. Thread a length of craft seam binding through stacked holes and knot loosely, leaving some slack. Open stack and fan to form a flower shape. Join the end petals with tissue tape as shown. Suspend with craft seam binding.
