rolled circle Ornament Tutorial

You will need:
scallop circle punch
paper doily
strip of paper to create accordion flower for center
cardstock for backing
pretty button or brad for center
paper glue
ribbon
scoring board (not required) 
One:
Punch scallop circles (mine used 18, but this will depend on the size of your circle)
Two:
Score the circles as shown.  If you're using a scoring board place two dots along one of the score lines--makes it easier to line the scallop up each time.
Three:
 Fold the circles along the score line, but don't crease.  Add a little adhesive to the bottom portion and pinch.  Cut a circle from cardstock to use as backing (I used a Sizzix diecut scallop circle)
Four:
Dry fit your rolled circles around the backing.
Five:
Adhere the "petals" in place.  I didn't worry about aligning the edges all the way down the petal.  Rather, make sure the top edges touch and leave a gap between the bottoms. 
Six:
Glue the paper doily to the center and embellish with an accordion folded rosettes, scallop circle, and decorative button or brad.  If you're not sure how to make the accordion rosettes, here is a quick and easy video tutorial.  And glue on a ribbon for hanging.  Done--wasn't that easy?
Let me know if you give this a try!
