This is the 3rd project in the 12 day Fairy House Challenge. We learned how to make card stock or cardboard houses on the first 2 days, so now is a good time to decorate your first Fairy House with a simple 5-petal flower and flower-shaped windows and a leafy door. The pattern is free in the Paper Glitter Glue library as design no. 157.

What do you need to make these Easy Paper Flowers for Your Fairy House?
- Card stock is a good option for flowers. I usually use Recollections card stock. Since making the flowers isn't structural, 65# card stock works well.
- My favorite paper for this type of flower is watercolor paper because it takes stain and paint so well.
- I used Picked Raspberry Distress Spray Stain for the pink flowers in this project.
- My favorite paints for coloring leaves and flowers are the Distress Paints, they are kind of watery and expensive, but they give beautiful variation to your flowers.
- For some types of flowers, crepe paper is a great option.
- Add dimension to your flowers with a stylus and foam pad
- Bearly Art Glue is great for adhering the flowers.
- I like to add dimension to my flowers using a stylus with some foam backing.
- You need a way to cut out your flowers, I use my Cricut Maker, but any cutting machine can cut out the flowers. If you don't have a cutting machine, I recommend using paper punches so you can get lots of flowers cut out easily.
