Creating a flower.
1 manufacture of petals.
From a single sheet of orange corrugated paper, you should cut out rectangular pieces measuring 3x5.5 cm each. For this flower they will need 22 pieces.

After that, each part needs to trim the upper corners, sharpening the middle.

But to make the core, you will need to cut another rectangle with sides of 6x8 cm.

This element also needs to be slightly trimmed corners, but only quite a bit.

Further from green corrugated paper you will need a part with sides 7x10 cm.

Now the upper long edge of this part needs to be cut with a zigzag line.
2 Assembling a flower.
First you need to make the middle of the flower. To do this, you need to take the wire and make a small ring at one end of it.

Then this wire should be laid in the middle of a large orange rectangle and a piece of cotton wool should be placed on top of the ring made.
Next, you need to take the left rounded corner of the part, and stretching it in the middle, wrap the wire and cotton wool located there.

Now you should repeat the same action from the second angle.

Then, tightly pressing the additions made, you need to carefully, but firmly twist together the bottom edge of the rectangle.
