You will need:

  • A2 Green Sugar Paper
  • Yellow Card
  • Orange, Green, Pink Tissue
  • Ribbon
  • Scrap Card
  • PVA glue
  • Masking Tape
  • Cellotape
  • Poster Paints
  • Glitter Glue

Instructions:

  1. Begin by making flower stalks. Cut a section of A2 green sugar paper, about 8 inches by 12 inches. Once cut, roll into a thin tube starting from one of the corners towards the opposite far corner of the paper. Fix tube in place using cellotape and repeat this process to make 5 more stalks.
  2. Next, cut out some circular flower shapes from yellow card, then cut a small line in the shapes stopping at about the centre of the flower. After this turn one of the edges underneath the other to make a cone and cellotape together.
  3. Tear off strips of orange tissue paper and use PVA to glue into the centre of the flower head. Once dry, add some decoration with glitter glue.
  4. After you have decorated all your flower heads, glue them to your flower stalks using PVA. Add a final touch by tearing off strips of green tissue, wrapping around the back of the flower head and fix in place with cellotape.
  5. Next, take a piece of scrap card, about 10 x 10 inches and roll into a wide cone and fix in place using masking tape.
  6. Colour in your cone using poster paints and, when dry, decorate using glitter glue.
  7. Finally, tear off a large square of pink tissue paper and place into the cone along with your flowers. Cut a section of ribbon and tie this into a bow around the middle of the cone.
