Lindt Wrapper Flowers

Yep... I've eaten far too many chocolates this Christmas, and I confess that im one of those annoying people who stuff the wrappers back in the box (to make it look like I haven't eaten as many!) So I tiped all the wrappers out of my lindt box to get to the last one, and while savoring it and promising myself I will starty diet tomorrow... I started playing with the wrappers and made some cute little flowers...
I started by smoothing out the wrappers and folding them in half, coloured side out.
I then concertina folded the wrappers. For a neater finish, keep the raw edge facing the back)
Once you have folded 4 wrappers, glue together along each edge to make a circle (I used my glue gun for a quick stick, but watch the heat doesnt melt the plastic! ) I finished off gluing a middle to my flower and a bbq skewer to the back voilĂ .... they'd also look cute to top a present..... dont feel so bad about eating them now ;-)
