This flower is made of an egg box with coloured paper strips. In the flower cup is a paper handkerchief. Then the whole flower is attached only to a beautiful thin branch and is finished this original flower. Whether as a table decoration in spring, summer or for a birthday. You don't need much.
First put out your craft pad and then tear the pink paper into strips (maximum 1cm wide).
Paper can only be easily cut in one direction at a time. Try out in which direction it is easier!
Tear about 10 to 12 strips.
Then you separate a tip from an egg box.
Now you stick the torn stripes as petals in the petal, the tip of the egg box.
Apply glue all around in the inside of the egg carton tip at the upper edge.
Now stick the first paper strip on the inside first.
Then put an adhesive point on the outer edge of the egg carton and glue the other end of the strip on the outside.
To do this, you turn the paper strip outwards in an arc.
Now place the torn stripes around the opening in the same way.
The stripes do not necessarily all have to be the same length!
This is what the underside of the flower looks like now.
And that's what she looks like from above.
Now you make the inside of the flower from a handkerchief.
If the handkerchief folds half, you get a narrow stripe.
Put this strip together again.
Then with scissors you cut the handkerchief on the open side several times a piece (something more than half).
That's what the handkerchief looks like now.
Now fold or roll the strip several times.
Now fix the lower edge with an adhesive tape.
So the roll from the handkerchief holds together.
Now you pull the handkerchief a little apart.
Then you put the handkerchief in the flower cup.
The flower is ready.
Finally, the flower sticks to a thin branch.
Ready!
She looks beautiful in a vase!
You can also make them in other colors!
As sunflower:
Make her with yellow paper and a brown napkin in the center of the flower.
As daisies:
Make her with white paper and a pink napkin in the center of the flower.
As Gerbera:
Make her with white paper and a brown or yellow napkin in the center of the flower.
Maybe you'll come up with a creative variant!
Have fun trying it out!
