Materials include:

  • paper card, blossoms, and stems cut with the library's Cricut Maker 3
  • glue stick for assembly
  • a ribbon to tie around the card
  • a piece of scrap paper to use as a work surface for glueing 

Make Your Card

Step 1:

Take your paper square. Gently crease the sides along the scored lines. This will be the wrapper for your bouquet.

Step 2:
Plan a rough layout for your stems and blooms. Keep in mind: flowers overlapping the scored lines will be creased when the card is folded.

Step 3:

Use a glue stick to attach your stems and flowers onto the card.

Tip: Apply glue to the back of flowers/stems on a piece of scrap paper, then transfer to your card.
