Layered Paper Flowers - mass of different colored paper flowersMy last flower project is the layered paper flowers. I have chosen this as part of my flower themed classroom decoration because I find them really cute and of course very affordable. You can always find paper everywhere and they don't really cost much.

The most common layered flower is a rose, so I started making a rose and then tried other different designs and never expected that I'm would get the school principal impressed with this. I'm happy.

Supplies:

  • art paper (assorted colors) cut into squares or rectangles
  • scissors
  • hot glue/strong hold glue
  • paintbrush/pencil

Steps:

  1. Get 4 pieces of cut art paper. Start with one piece by folding it into half.
  2. Layered Paper Flowers - 4 sheets of art paper

  3. Fold it diagonally that should make it look like a flat cone.

  17. Get two flowers. Cut one petal out in each. And on the 3rd flower cut out two, and finally cut the fourth into half.
  18. Layered Paper Flowers - cut one petal out of 2 flowers, 2 out of the third and cut the fourth in half
     
  19. By using a paintbrush or a pencil, roll the petals going backwards.
  20. Layered Paper Flowers - roll the petals backwards over a pen or paintbrush handle
     
  21. Put together the two open ends of each flower. Secure with glue. It should look like this.

  23. Start putting in the layers together. Put hot glue into the center of each flower. Arrange from largest number of petals to the least until the rose is formed.
  24. Layered Paper Flowers - add glue to the center of the flower
     
    Layered Paper Flowers - begin adding layers from largest to least number of petals

  25. Do the same procedure with the slim petaled flower. The difference is that you put away two petals in the first two and so on. After doing the basics, you will be able to learn making new different designs.
  26. Layered Paper Flowers - repeat with the slim petaled flowers adjusting the number of petals removed
