Paper flowers

These paper flowers turned out so beautifully. I still have them in a vase in my living room!  They look complicated but are in fact very easy to make.

I meet a very nice lady working in a kids club at the hotel I was staying at the beginning of the year. She kindly taught me how to do them.

Paper flower

Ingredients

  • Paper (4 different colours)
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Pegs
  • Wire
  • Vase

Instructions

1

Cut the paper into 4 different lengths, all about 1cm wide.

2

Starting with strip 1 (the smallest one) and put glue onto each end and fold together.

3

Then take strip 2 and put glue on each end. Then stick the glue side on either side of the first strip.

4

Repeat the same process with strip 3 and 4. Hold together with a peg. This makes one flower pedal.

5

You will need two more flower pedals to make one flower so repeat this process 2 more times. Leave to dry.

6

Then put glue on the bottom/side of the first pedal and press the second one on top.

7

Then put glue on the bottom/side of the first pedal and press all tree pedals together. Hold together with a peg. Leave to dry.

8

Fold wire around the bottom of the flower so it can stand up.
