Acetate Flower Tutorial... ...unusual flower, easy to make.
This step by step acetate flower tutorial is easy to follow, and the project is easy to do.
Acetate is a very versatile product and it comes in different weights. But basically all you need to feel is the thickness of it.
The thicker kind can be used to make a complete card or as an addition to others areas on your card. It also makes excellent boxes to showcase the card inside.
The thinner sort can be used as apertures in the card or the box lid and can be used to make flowers and snowflakes amongst many other things.
For this project I have used some printable acetate that can be bought from most craft shops or even stationery stores.
The acetate is smooth on one side and rough on the other and it is the rough side that you will need to print onto. It will go through an ordinary inkjet printer with no trouble at all.
It isn't expensive and can be used to print off all kinds of things.

Acetate,
and this short video shows you how to make the flower featured on the birthday card.
You can vary the size of the strips to suit your project, and smaller flowers look pretty on gift bags or attached to tags. The possibilities are there for you to experiment.
I enjoy putting flowers on my cards and this a little different.
