I learned to make paper flowers a long time ago with directions from a library book. They don't require any adhesive, and there are just four shapes to cut out. Use them to decorate gifts or make wreaths. I chopped up a fancy Urban Outfitters catalog for these. You can make template pieces to trace around and then cut out the shapes with a scissors—what I used to do.

This can also make a useful trivet if you continue the flat shape to the desired size. Each strip that I used is made from one page of the magazine. I added each strip to my piece by keeping the folded edge outside and the open side toward the inside.
