DIY - Paper Flowers
If you want to make a nice surprise for someone,
but you’re kind of short of money, don’t worry as there are plenty of ways to
create cheap but nice gifts. For instance for this next paper flower, you’ll
need very few materials, a bit of patience and skills and the gift will be
ready in no more then 15 minutes
You will need the
following materials:
·
two or three sheets of colored
paper or one large sheets;
·
florists tape;
·
cork;
·
wire;
·
decorator's tape;
·
a pair of scissors;
·
one craft knife;
If
you couldn’t find the exact colors of paper you like, you can always buy
watercolor and paint the paper yourself. Paint 2 or 3 sheets of paper so you
can join them together. Use the craft
knife to cut thin strips of paper. If you are using a large sheet you can
proceed to the next step, if not, then first join the sheets by gluing them
together. Roll the strips of paper as shown in the picture and secure them with
tape. Use green paper to make the leaves of the flower and fold them in the
center to make the center vein of the leaf. Use tape to secure the leaves to
the bottom of the flower. Cut a piece of the cork and use the wire to push it
through the center of the flower. Twist the ends of the wire. Place the cork
heart in the center of the flower. Cover the ends of the wire with tape and
apply florist tape to the base of the flower. Your paper flower is ready!
