All you need for this DIY craft:

  • Chart paper in different colors
  • Glue
  • Some crepe paper to make the center part of the flower
  • Scissors, pencil, eraser and sharpener  (the basics)
  • If you are good at drawing, you won’t be needing printable patterns for the petals. Otherwise, you can find on the internet many printable patterns to help you draw a petal perfectly.



STEP 1:
Take a chart paper, and draw 5 sizes of the same shape of a petal. Use these as sample for the rest of the chart papers as you would need at least 3-5 layers of petals with 5 petals of each size to make your large sized flower.

STEP 2:
Now that you’ve arranged these piles of petals separately, take on petal at a time, and from the base of the petal, use a scissor to form a small cut. Repeat this for every petal.Once this is done, use a pencil to curve the edges of each petal.

STEP 3:
Once you have slit the petals, you need to put glue on one of the 90 degree angled edge and stick the other end over it. This will give the petal a certain curve, making it seem more real. Repeat it for the rest of the petals as well.

STEP 4:
After you have completed step three, you need to start putting the petals together now. Begin with one sized petals at one time. Once all the sized petals have been glued together, use sufficient amount of glue to bind these bunches together forming a beautiful flower. The best way to go about this step is to cut a small circle of the chart paper, and start pasting the largest sized petals first, beginning from the outter edge of the circle. The circle will form a base for the flowers and will make it easier for you.



TADA! Your beautiful flower is ready to be used. To decorate the center of the flower, you can use crumbled crepe paper, or cut the chart paper in a comb like design, roll that piece of chart paper and paste it in the center of the flower.

Hope you all learned something new today. Time for me to sign off now, until next time, stay crafty!
