1. Cut out squares of red paper. You will need one square for each
petal on your flower. The flower in the picture used 4 inch or 10 cm
squares.
2. Cut out two circles from the red paper. The larger circle
should be about 2 inches (5 cm) across and the smaller circle about 1 inch
(2.5 cm) across. The exact size is not important.
3. For each square, run glue in a line along edge. Fold over
the edge beside it to create a cone shape. Press flat to create the
petal shape. Repeat for each of the petals.
4. Glue the petals around the large circle, fold side down.
Try to space them evenly. Once they are all in place, glue the small
circle on top.
5. Add glitter glue or sequins to the small center circle if you
want.
