I started this auction not knowing how many flowers I would need. I just knew I needed a lot and of various sizes. I thought I would just use punches for the majority of the flowers but once I had some made, I realized that that wasn't going to work. I punched a bunch of scrap cardstock and made these cute flowers which are about 2.5".
I liked the look of making the centers a different color than the petals. I was looking to make flowers that were more natural. I eventually made over 200 of these sized flowers. They were used in the swags and for the wine bottles.
Once I realized I needed larger sized flowers, I went to my Cricut Explore Air machine. If you want to make flowers in the 6-8" range, this is the way to go. I had 30 centerpieces to make and each one took 4-6 of these larger flowers. They all came out very pretty. I would spend a day cutting them all out on my machine, another day shaping everything, and another day gluing everything together. I made the flowers in groups of 6.
