Creating the Petals
- Step 1.1: Start by cutting out petal shapes from your colored paper. You can draw these freehand or use a template.
- Step 1.2: Each flower will have multiple layers, so cut several petals in different sizes.
2. Prepare the Petal Strips ๐
Cutting the Strips
- Step 2.1: Cut strips of paper about 1 inch wide.

Shaping the Layers
- Step 3.1: Curl the edges of each petal slightly to give them a more natural look.
- Step 3.2: Start with the largest petals and glue them in a circle to form the base layer.
4. Assemble the Flower ๐บ
Layering the Petals
- Step 4.1: Once your base layer is dry, start adding smaller layers on top. Use your glue gun to secure each layer in place.
- Step 4.2: Rotate the petals slightly for each layer to create a fuller, more natural-looking flower.
5. Add the Center of the Flower ๐ป
Creating the Flower Center
- Step 5.1: For the center, take one of your prepared strips and roll it tightly, securing the end with glue.
- Step 5.2: Fluff the rolled strip by gently pulling apart the slits to create a textured center.
