Basic Paper Manipulation - How-to-video

In this video, I demonstrate several basic paper manipulation techniques that I like to use in my paper flower art:
Cupping
Reverse Cupping
Cup stretching
Fluting
Curling
Changing the petal shape in 3 ways - Darting, Reverse Darting, Twisting
Fringing
Reducing bulk
Finishing the stem in 2 ways - Floral Tape, Crepe Tape
You can find other paper and colouring techniques in my book, Paper Flower Art: Creating Beautifully Realistic Floral Arrangements (2019, GMC Publications).

Thank you so much! I got your book but it’s great to see visual explanation of those steps in a video 😊

You make amazing paper flowers, and I have bought your paper flowers book to learn from you. It's a book with really great flower projects. Unfortunately the measurements seem to be a bit off. In the ball dahlia for instance, in part 1 of the explanation, you state that the fringes are cut into 3 pieces from a piece 3,25 inches tall. Each of the 3 pieces are 5/8, 1 1/16 and 1/4 inches tall. That does not add up to 3,25. So what should the real mesaurements be?
Apart from that, it's a great book.
Btw. The reason I comment on this video, is beacuse I have no other places to reach you.

Hello! There was a misprint in the measurement: Strip C should be 3/4" not 1/4" as you pointed out. That should be the height of whatever paper is remaining. I hope that helps. Thank you for buying my book! You can reach me directly at [e-mail] or DM me on any of my social media channels and website www.jessiechui.com or www.craftedtobloom.com :)
