-You will need six pieces for one flower. Make a hole with the needle in the center of each one.

-make a small loop in the end of the wire and dip it in the glue

-thread one layer of tissue through the wire

I got some at AC Moore and Michaels. Joann's are suppose to be on sale though it may have ended. Did you try Joann.com? They are offering free shipping right now.

Look in the scrapbooking section!!

i was on Joann's like white on rice! the one near me does have a scrapbooking section but they didnt really have alot of punches. nothing that i could see a flower petal in anyway. and i dont have a Michaels or HL anywhere around. :ohyeah:

guess i'll have to order. my mailman is gonna kill me! he's the grumpiest person i've ever seen! i call him Oscar the grouch (affectionately, of course) if ever there was a man close to goin "postal" its him! as long as he gets my stuff to me before he goes off the deep end i'll consider myself lucky!

Thanks you Susanna for sharing the tutorial, I've heard people talking about using punches to make flowers but now I know how they did it. When things settle down here, I'll definitely give it a try.
