Here is a look at how I cut out the flower using a two pages from an old book.  You can layer more pages to give your flower more depth and fullness.  You simply cut a spiral shape and then twist to create a flower. Then glue down to a backing.

Once you have mastered the art of these easy flowers, you can combine a bunch of them to make a wreath or hanging wall decor. Just choose a background, whether it be cardboard, cardstock, foam wreath form, or basically anything else you can think of, and hot glue your flowers until they suit your needs.  I used an old CD that was too scratched to play anymore and made this small circular wall art.  You could even go a step further and use paint or ink to color or distress the edges of your rosettes to create a different look.
