| Text | This crumpled paper flower is very surprising, and requires little time to make. ItŐs an
ideal impromptu gift.
1. Start with a crumpled base. Hold the closed tip upwards. 2. Scrunch and tightly squeeze the top quarter of the tube. Mark the bottom of this part clearly. There is no reference point, the length is given as an indication. The lower part, open, composed of 4 crumpled flaps, will form the corolla. The upper part, closed, will give the illusion of a set of stamens. 3. Flip the bottom flaps up, using the bottom of the column as a starting point. Scrunch the whole thing from bottom to top. During this turning operation, the flaps surround the upper part. Care must be taken to distribute the flaps well all around the column. The bottom of the column, where the flaps go upwards, must also remain securely closed. 4. Flip the flaps down, using the top of the column as a starting point. Scrunch the whole thing from top to bottom. The distance is indicative, there is no real reference point. For example, you may want to let the middle column protrude slightly by folding the flaps below its top. It is necessary to ensure the regularity of the distribution of the flaps. 5. Flip the tips up, using the bottom of the spine as a starting point. Crumple the whole thing strongly from the bottom to the top. These tips are more or less long, depending on the shape of the starting paper and the lengths chosen to form the different elements of the flower. They allow the corolla to be surrounded by appendages which can pass for sepals or small leaves. 6. Holding the bottom of the flower tight, gently open the top of the corolla to release the central column. You must take care to open as regularly as possible, to give a more or less rounded shape to the flower. The degree of openness is up to you. 7. Holding the bottom of the flower tight, gently pull outwards and shape the four tips. This is a very pretty flower, very fragile. It tends to open from the bottom. To avoid this, you can tie the bottom with a tie which will be hidden by the sepals. |
