DIY paper flowers

For work we need:

• corrugated (crepe) paper of different colors;
• white wire;
• white narrow tape;
• glue, scissors;
• Gold glitters (available at handicraft stores)

• 1. Cut a strip of corrugated paper about 10-12 cm wide and 45 cm long. In this case, the crepe pattern should be vertical, that is, the strip of paper should be stretched to the sides. Fold this strip several times until you have a rectangle about 5 cm wide.
• 2. Cut off the top edge in a semicircle shape. Unfold the strip of paper.
• 3-4. Re-fold the strip several times to form a rectangle. But not along the same lines, but with a slight shift. Now, using scissors, round off the opposite edge of the workpiece. Expand it. You will end up with a strip with asymmetrical wavy edges.
• 5. Fold the strip in half lengthwise. Make a loop at the end of the wire and attach it to the edge of the strip. Start rolling the strip around the wire.
• 6. Start shaping the flower by winding the strip around the wire. When the entire strip is wound, secure the base of the flower to the wire with tape.
• 7. Spread out the petals. The crepe paper has excellent stretch properties, allowing you to shape the flower into a lifelike shape. In the center of the flower, place golden glitters on glue – you get a charming core.
