You start with a rounded petal (fold the tape over about an inch and leave about 1/2" of tape showing.
Slit it up the middle about half way, then overlap the two parts slightly to make it curve. Trim off the corners to make it look rounded. Make 8 of these.
Then do 8 more slightly smaller. We made them exactly the same, but trimmed them 1/2" all the way around.
Then make 8 "halves" (making two petals out of one piece by cutting it in half first.
You are going to simply stack these four per level (4 large, 4 more large, 4 med, 4 more med, 4 small, 4 more small). centering each layer between the previous petals.
We then cut a small piece of red to cover any white showing in the middle.
For the center, we cut a 4" piece of purple, then cut that longways into 4 strips. We folded those over long ways 1/3, so 1/3 of the sticky was still showing. Finally we rolled and rolled those pieces until it made a tightly wound center. We hot glued that to the middle.
To attach it to a headband or barrette, just use a single piece of tape on the back.
It turned out so cute we'll be making lots of these ; )
