For work, we need:
- Corrugated paper in 2 colors.
- threads.
- glue gun.
- cotton wool.
- skewer.
- scissors.

In order to start working with a flower, you need to make a foundation. Create the middle of the flower. Take red corrugated paper, cut a 4x4 cm square. In the middle of the square we make a deepening with the thumbs.

need to make a foundation


Take a piece of cotton and roll it into a ball. This ball will be the core of the flower.

need to make a foundation


Take the prepared square and put cotton in the middle of the recess. We connect and twist the corners of the square so that the shaft remains inside. Under a ball of cotton and paper, we connect the corners with a thread. We tie everything tightly and tie it to a knot so that the thread does not tie. Take the skewer and glue the base to the skewer. Let the glue dry.

the basis


Flower petals will be in two sizes. The first will be 1x10cm in size, and the second will be 2x10cm.

Flower petals


We begin to prepare the petals. To do this, we take one petal and twist it exactly in the middle. At the same time making only 1 revolution.

Flower petals


Take a twisted petal and fold it in half, at the place of twisting. In this case, we make a recess in the middle of the petal with our fingers. So that you get a petal with a recess inward.

Flower petals


In the same way we process all prepared petals. For our flower you will need eight petals of 2 sizes. In general, we get 16 petals and a base.

Getting to the flower assembly. We take two smaller petals, and put them opposite each other. Tie them tightly with a thread.

In the same way we tie the remaining petals of a small size. There will be 8 pieces.

Now let's move on to the petals of a different size, they are larger than the previous one. But there will also be eight of them. Attach the first four petals. Wrap them well with thread.

We fix the last petals to the flower. We tie with a thread and fasten. We correct the petals.

Now we process the flower stalk. We take scissors and cut off the unnecessary parts from the petals below. We trim so that it is easier to glue the stem.

We begin to make leaves. To do this, take green paper. We cut a strip measuring 6x12 cm. We cut the leaves so that we get five oval leaves with pointed ends. With your fingers, stretch the middle of each leaf a little, making a small depression in the middle of the leaf.

Using a glue gun, glue the sheets to the flower.
