Wrap the ends of the petal around the pen and carefully roll the paper to bend it into a furled curve, as seen below. It’s a pretty straightforward step, and all you need is a pen or marker. It’s time to curl the edges of your flower petals. Roll the single petal into a cone-like center for the flower and stick it in place. Your first layer should look something like this image, with a pointed end and curved walls.Ĭontinue this step for all the layers of petals until you get to the last one. Grab your glue and apply some over the first arc petal, as shown below.īring the other end of the paper and stick it over the top of the edge you just applied glue over. Next, pick up the biggest layer of your paper flower. This particular pattern calls for seven layers, as seen below. For the second layer, you should cut two petals, three petals for the third, and so on. Once you decide how many layers you want your flower to have, you will need to cut out more and more of the petals to get the desired effect.įor example, you will need to cut out one single petal for the first or outer layer. This will help you get that curved fold for your flower. Grab your scissors one again and cut out one single arc of your first layer. Unfold the paper, and you’ll have the first layer of your paper flower. Grab a pair of scissors and carefully cut the paper across the arc. This will be your flower’s petal and should look something like the image below. Grab your marker or pen and draw an arc around one corner of the triangle. You’ll find yourself with another triangle, albeit smaller.
Grab one of the longer ends and fold the paper once more. You will have a triangular piece of paper like this.
Make sure that the ends overlap each other, as shown below. Bring one end of the paper over to the other side, folding it diagonally over. Once you’ve picked out your paper and assembled all the supplies you’ll be needing for this DIY, you can get started right away! Step 1įor this DIY project, consider working on a flat surface to help you fold and crease the paper effectively.
