IndyCindy Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Mini flower makers - can anyone suggest a punch that is the correct size and shape for 12th scale tulip leaves? (Just to clarify, I'm talking about the leaves to the flowers that grow from bulbs and bloom in the spring, not Indiana's state tree ;) ) I know I could freehand these, but I'd really like the ease and uniformity of a punch. Would this work? https://www.etsy.com/listing/244846099/lily-petals-punch-medium?ref=hp_rf-1 It's a medium size punch, but there are 4 different leaf sizes represented, so I thought one of them might be to scale. Other suggestions? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid-life madness Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 The small leaf might work. I usually stick to mini or small sized punches. Have you looked for miniature tulip kits? https://www.etsy.com/listing/164196657/tulips-paper-flower-kit-for-112th-scale?ref=shop_home_active_27 http://minifleurs.kazeo.com/accueil-tulipes-c27484258 https://www.scribd.com/document/91231533/AIM-Imag-Issue-41-Spring There are many different How to's especially on Pinterest. I have seen one that used a mini heart punch for the petals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Why not take masking tape and fold it in half over lengths of wire, cut the general leaf shape with scissors and paint your leaves dark green? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or start with green floral tape. Leave plain or do just a bit of dry brushing to add realism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
