You will need:
- Tissue Paper
- Green Crepe Paper
- Scrap Polystyrene
- Pipecleaners
Instructions:
- For the flower – lay 9 sheets of tissue paper on top of each other. Make concertina folds every 2 inches along the short edge of the tissue paper. Wrap 3 pipecleaners around centre + twist to secure.
- Push some polystyrene onto pipecleaners to create stamens.
- Cut each end of the tissue paper into a triangle. Gently unfold the first layer of tissue paper + continue with all the outer layers.
- You may want to staple together the edges of the outer layers.
- To make the lily pad – take a full pack of green crepe paper + concertina fold along the whole length. Staple at one end + cut into a point at the other end.
