Cliff Notes:
- Often smaller paper flowers make great centers for larger ones!
- Although it's much faster and easier to cut the large petal flowers by hand, the cricut is great for cutting the more detailed centers!

These smaller paper flowers are some of my favorites to use as centers in large paper flowers.

Here's a tutorial for those who like youtube tutorials -
(this one is not too annoying at all - no sound needed, and it gets right to the point)
Step By Step How I Made Mine
For the White ones:
The template for the flower can be found here:
I cut one using the cricut, then found it was really just much quicker to cut the petals by hand. You can cut 3 sheets of paper at once by hand. I did not use the largest petal in this template, I started with the second petal, and I cut 6 of each size.4
For the centers I really love the cricut.
To make the center:
To make the centers, I created a rectangle 11.5 x5.5 . Then I created a score line, leaving space at the top and bottom of the rectangle. Change the score line to cut, and duplicate until you have a row of single cut lines. I like to cut this out on metallic papers. Then fold in half long ways, but offset. glue along the solid edge. Then you can either wrap this around a half of a styrofoam ball, or just wrap it together... I've done it both ways. For these, I just wrapped them tightly without the styrofoam.

For the Pink One
I used this template: https://anyonecancraft.wordpress.com/large-flower-petals/
First template on the page. Again, skip the largest, and cut 6 of each of the other sizes.
I followed the tutorial here, with the slits in the bottoms of the petals -

For the center, I used this:
Cut 4 of them, at 5x5
Then I used the rolled rose template here:
and placed that in the center of the 4 black spriggy things.
The gold center in the blue flower is a variation on the black center in the flowers above. To get that swirl, simply fold "offset" - so that an inch or so is not double. Then wrap around half of a Styrofoam ball. Templates for the Daisy and fringed black flowers are below.
