- I used crepe paper streamers that I usually pick up at the dollar store in the party aisle. To make the petals, cut out 6-8 pieces of crepe paper and cut the top in a semi circle.
- Pinch the bottom closed.
- Glue your petals together to form the flower.
- To make the pistil, use a small piece of black crepe paper folded several times. Cut into strips but don’t cut all the way to the bottom.
- Pinch the bottom closed and glue into the middle of your flower.
- The leaves were also made out of crepe paper but since I didn’t have green, I painted them. I mixed a dot of green craft paint with about a tablespoon of water. Dip the leaf quickly into the green water and set aside to dry.
