Imagine creating a whole bunch!

With this tutorial you will learn how to be a real paper flower creator.
Every petal and leaf you will have to shape by yourself. This process will train your brain in how to make decisions about the sizes, shapes and materials you use and will train your fingers in how to shape and sculpt the paper pieces. Actually, you will learn how to model, from scratch, very realistic paper flowers, which will be absolutely your own creations and will amaze everyone who sees them.
If you involve in this craft process your little ones, the work with these different materials will improve their fine motor skills and their brains.

You will receive a printable PDF file with 11 pages with detailed photos and step by step instructions + petal and leaf templates. The Protea on the cover pictures was made using the same process.

I just finished mine. The instructions were very easy to follow and lots of pictures. I had a difficult time figuring out the egg but I managed. I wish I had known to put the larger petals first. I had to go back and reattach.
