A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

-Proverbs 31:10-11,30

Paper Flower Envelope


Spring is on the way, and you want to let people know! Spice up any party invitation or note with these cute flower envelop/messages. (Sorry mine look like poinsettias, all I had was left over Christmas paper! Think pastel)

I hope the pictures help!

First, print or trace your template (you might want to make it bigger using Word like I did). It looks super complicated, but don't worry. Take a deep breath, it'll be ok.

Put the template on your desired paper and trace. I used a sharpie so that you can see the lines, but I recommend using a pencil or something light.



Cut out design and fold up along solid lines.


You should end up with 6 "petals" and 6 triangles.


Fold the petal in half, outward along the dotted line.


Continue until all petals are folded.


Now push the triangles in towards the center. Your flower should look like the picture below. Petals out, triangles in.


Gently push the triangles together. Allow petals to roll to one side and layer on top of each other.


Press down and crease seams. Your Flower is done!



You can write your note anywhere on the inside of the flower.

Happy Crafting!
