By Lesley Shepherd, About.com Guide

These scale miniature crocuses are easily made using a simple daisy paper punch, colored paper and wire. You can make them open or closed, with pollen stamens if you wish. As shown here the crocus are in dollhouse 1:12 scale, made with a half inch wide daisy or small teardrop shaped paper punch, as well as paper and fine wire. The crocus take many of the same skills used to make the dollhouse miniature tulips, dollhouse miniature lilies or dollhouse Easter Lilies, but are made with smaller punched petals using the shape in reverse.
