I’ve gotten a few questions on how I made the flower top for the Journal Jar. I put together this quick tutorial for the flower and made a bookmark out of it. I also created a pattern for the petals & flower so you can download and print it! You can expand on this, making it as large as you want or as small as you need.

Step 4: Make the 4 large petals look similar to this, then as you place the middle petals, off set them to make it add the the realism.
