I found an instruction for a nice paper flower and thought that this should work with self-coloured paper, too.
It did ;-)
First I painted on a sheet of toilet paper with some markers.
I dropped water on my ‘painting’, but it was a little too much water and everything swam.
In order not to get everything dirty I have put it luckily on an old little plastic bag.
Therefore I put another sheet of toilet paper onto the first, the water and the dye dispersed on both.
I blow-dried everything to dry it faster ;-)
I cut my papers by guess and by gosh, that is to say without a pre-sketched spiral and my scissors were quite blunt.
That may be the reason why my little ‘roses’ look so beautiful ;-)

I have lots of old buttons and as you can see on the photo not all look very nice.
Because I only had seed beads I simply took some of my buttons and must say that I like the result, also.
In fact I found the hole pattern around the lettering the most interesting.
What I also liked was that the lower holes made a nice light pattern.
I didn’t arrange anything and on this photo I’m checking whether the piece fits at this place.
Subsequently prick holes into the cardboard. Try to get a regular spacing between the holes.
That’s how my snippet looked like after the piercing from both sides.
Afterwards I took my pierced snippet and surrounded it using a tapestry needle with 
The surrounding is finished.

That’s what I’ve done until now.
