Step-by-step guide to rolling Cricut paper flowers
1. In the Design Space, create a new project and import the downloaded SVG files by clicking on the "Upload" button. Follow the on-screen instructions to import the files successfully.
2. Once the files are imported, you'll be able to see the flower designs in the Design Space. Resize and customize them as desired, and arrange multiple flowers on the virtual canvas. I like to make mine around 5.5 inches wide and this gives me about a 1.5-2.5 inch flower but always do test cuts, my sizes may be different from other bloggers.
3. When you're satisfied with the arrangement and size of your flower designs, click on the "Make It" button. Follow the prompts to load your chosen cardstock or paper into the Cricut machine and let it work its magic.
4. Once the cutting is complete, carefully remove your cut flower designs from the cutting mat.
5. Now it's time to roll your paper flowers. Take each cut design and use a quilling tool or a tweezers to start rolling from the outside edge.
6. Continue rolling until you reach the center of the design, then release the rolled flower gently. Roll tightly and evenly, then slightly release, applying a small amount of glue as you go to secure the rolled shape to the circular center.
