First find your materials together and lay out the craft file.
Then you cut two tips out of an egg box.
Cuts out sharp triangles from these tips, so that a flower develops.

2

Each of the two tips thus receives four petals.

Then bends the petals slightly outwards with the fingers.

Now you paint the flowers with water colors colorful. Alternatively, you already use coloured egg box.
If you paint the petals, they must dry afterwards.

Now put both flowers together.

Now you need a pearl for the flower cup.

Either you just put the bead into the flower and attach it with an adhesive point.

Or you stick it on a wooden stick and put it through the tip in the middle of the flower.

Pull the wooden stick so far through the flower that the pearl sits deep in the flower cup.

Now you cut the leaves. For this you fold together a paper (green) four-ply approximately 10cm long and 8cm wide.
Then you paint a bevelled leaf tip.

Cut it and fold the leaves apart.

Then cut every single leaf 4 cm from below.

Afterwards, the incisions of each leaf are easily glued on top of each other.

That's what the leaves look like now.
Now put these leaves around your wooden stick. You stick the wooden stick to the flower. Alternatively, you decorate the leaves to the flower in the vase.
