Another new flower cluster ball

I've been making these and having a ball!
This one was made from vintage catalog pages.
Made from scrapbook paper.
A group of them!  I can't make up my mind if I like the small one with that many pins in it.
These are all made from scrapbook paper and I love them all together but two of them went to another home.
I'm making these to fill up small bowls and a large compote I have.  They can also be used in cups, sugar bowls or other items you have around the house!
Small, medium and large sizes.
This scrapbook paper turns into this ball:
My friend over at VintageEmbellishment suggested I do these in red and green for Christmas!  I think that is a wonderful idea and will get on it when I restock!

New flower clusters

I learned how to make these flowers and like doing them but when I'd see others make them, I noticed they had more folds inside each petal!

I found some directions to make them with more folds, but just couldn't get it.  Even the hubby tried and couldn't get what they were saying.  I decided I was going to learn it, come hell or high water!  

Here is the old ones:


It's nice, I like it but I just had to know how they did the other ones!

Here is a new one:


See the difference in the petals?  With the old ones, you don't need glue until you start gluing all the petals together, you tuck the paper in but with the new ones, you do need glue for each petal.

What do you think?  New or old?
