these are the best use of a magazine that i have seen ever! they are soooo easy to make and look so cool. i've made about 8 so far.
one suggestion: use those perfume strip pages (you will have to cut the square down to match the others) and you will have paper flowers that smell good too.
i have also used magazine page "straws" (where you roll them up starting from one corner) and stick them in before you glue the two 3-pieces together. that way your flower also has a stem.
hope this helps someone.
it's a great project.
