Fold it diagonally in half.
Then fold it in half two more times.
Easy right?
At this point I layer two cut outs and make sure none of the edges are overlapping. Then pinch the flat bottom and and roll.it around one of the branches. I just used white twist ties to secure it when I had it arranged to look the way I wanted.
Okay, now for these little buds I started with a 2x2 in piece of crepe paper (tissue for the tutorial).
You want to fold it in half.
Then fold it in half again.
Then I cut the lose edge side of the square into scalloped edges. (I didn't draw on them, that's just so you can figure out these crappy directions!)
After you cut out the scallop/petal shape you should have something like this.
You want to form into a cone shape around the end of the twig. I used a dab glue for this one.
I hope you like it as much as I did. Especially for Zero Bucks!
