| How to Paper Looped Flowers
 |
Using
colored card stock or construction paper, cut out a circle.
For the small flower, we used a 1 1/2" diameter for the
smaller flower and 2 1/2" to 3" diameter for the larger flowers.
|
 |
Cut
several strips of colored paper 1/2" wide and 2" long to 6" long. The
longer strips will be used for the bigger flowers and the outside row
(for the multi layered flower).
Tip: For creating a multi layered look, cut each row of
strips 1" to 1 1/2" longer than the first row of petals.
|
 |
Fold each strip (without creating a crease)
to form a loop. Glue in place.
Tip: You may need to press together for a bit until the glue
sticks.
|
 |
Glue each strip on the backside of the
circle. Cut and glue as many strips as you want to create the
look you want.
Tip: If doing a multi-rowed flower, glue the first row of
strips on the edge of the circle. The next row slightly
closer to the middle and slightly off centered of the first row.
|
 |
Glue pipe cleaner or straw to create the
stem for these colorful flowers.
|
|
You can make several of these looped paper flowers in a variety of
colors. Depending on the length of the strips these make fairly large
flowers so use a vase big enough to hold them all. We
decorated a coffee can to hold our flowers.

up on each tissue paper on both sides of the pipe cleaner.

How to Make a Pinwheel Flower

Cut
several strips of colored paper 6" to 8" long. Make them
about 1" to 1 1/2" wide.
|

Punch
a hole in the middle of each strip.
|
|
Place the strips together (alternating
colors if you used multiple colors) and put a paper fastener through
the middle.
|
|
Cut a small hole in a straw and place the
paper fastener through the hole and bend back the fastener to hold in
place.
|
|
Fan out the strips until they create a
complete circle.
|
|
Shape the ends of each strip by wrapping
around a pencil. This will create a curl for the flower
petal.
Tip: Make sure the curl goes in towards the center.
