I've gotten a few questions on how I made the flower top for the Journal Jar. I put together this quick tutorial for the flower and made a bookmark out of it. I also created a pattern for the petals & flower so you can download and print it! You can expand on this, making it as large as you want or as small as you need.

Step 2: Cut out all the pieces from the pattern
Step 3: Start assembling. Curl and bend the pieces to make them look more realistic (or not, and make a 2D flower). Glue the tail pieces to the stick.

Step 4: Make the 4 large petals look similar to this, then as you place the middle petals, off set them to make it add the the realism.

Step 5: Curl the center piece and glue it together with a dap of glue. Then add it to the center with glue.

Step 6: Add the leaves. Crinkle them and put the glue on the tail piece and slide it under the flower onto the popsicle stick.
