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.
Cut the paper into 4 different lengths, all about 1cm wide. Starting with strip 1 (the smallest one) and put glue onto each end and fold together. Then take strip 2 and put glue on each end. Then stick the glue side on either side of the first strip. Repeat the same process with strip 3 and 4. Hold together with a peg. This makes one flower pedal. You will need two more flower pedals to make one flower so repeat this process 2 more times. Leave to dry. Then put glue on the bottom/side of the first pedal and press the second one on top. 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. Fold wire around the bottom of the flower so it can stand up. For a full flower vase repeat the process 1-8 a few times. Paper flower
