Fiesta Favors!


These simple and sweet 
Fiesta Favors
combine my two favorite colorful south of the border icons -
paper flowers and Chiclets gum...

The mini paper flowers are easy and fun to make.
I used a 2 inch scalloped punch to make the petals.
Just make sure you punch through a stack of tissue paper 
(about 7-9 sheets thick) for best cut.

I like to have a big, bright assortment to work with...

Then pick 7 or 8 for your flower...

add a drop of hot glue to the first petal, 
then stack on, adding a drop of glue to the center of each layer...


Let glue dry and cool, 
and starting with the top petal, 
crinkle and "fluff" until you have your gorgeous flower.

In a few minutes you will have this...


throw in a few Chiclets...

and you have a reason to throw a
Fiesta!


My Fiesta Flowers are based on this awesome DIY
