• 

  Step 1

  Loop the string through the circle at the end.

• 

  Step 2

  Continue looping as many times as you can.
  *Thicker strings will make fewer loops.

• 

  Step 3

  Even out the loops.

• 

  Step 4

  Cut out colorful squares from magazines (one per petal).

• 

  Step 5

  Wrap one around each petal and snip away excess paper.

• 

  Step 6

  Finally, glue, tape, or varnish the petals so that they do not unwrap.
  *You may want to temporarily hold them with a clothespin and varnish them later.

It would be sweet if you could use guitar picks for the petals :0 this is still awesome though.

This is a really awesome idea for recycling both guitar strings and old magazines!
