Instructions

  1. Small s6302249

    Measure and cut card stock templates for the main pieces in three sizes. The templates I used were: Large= 6.5 inches/16cm, Medium= 5 inches/12.5 cm, Small=2.5 inches/6.5 cm. Templates will be used as a rough guide. You are aiming for slightly irregular shapes.

  2. Small s6302248

    Cut 6 large shapes, 12 medium shapes and 24 small shapes.

  3. Small s6302251

    Use a circle cutter or make templates and trace and cut for the center circles. Large centers=2.5 inches/6 cm. Medium centers=1.75 inches/4.5 cm. Small centers=1 inch/2.25 cm.

  4. Small s6302253

    Create centers by slitting paper almost to the center to divide circle in roughly 4 quadrants.

  5. Small s6302254

    Pinch each quadrant in the center.

  6. Small s6302255

    With the center right side up, pinch

  7. Small s6302256

    and fold in while pushing down to create a flat bottomed center with 4 "petals".

  8. Small s6302257

    Glue centers to each flower.

  9. Small s6302258

    Use adhesive gum (the reusable gum used to hang posters) to attach the flowers to the wall. Start with the large shapes and work down to the small ones. The adhesive gum will allow you to keep rearranging until you are pleased with the composition.
