Print the template for the flower. You will need two templates to make one flower.

First, cut out the flower petals and paint them with glitter powder. Now shape the flower petals so they get the shape of a flower in bloom.

Cut a metal wire in different lengths, and cover each of them using floral tape. The covered metal wires represent the flower’s branches. Use the long-nose pliers to bend the ends and make small spirals by rotating the flower branch around a pencil.

Now cut out the green leaves using the template. For a more natural expression, make leaves in different sizes using your imagination.

Take a stem wire and glue two flower petals to the end of it using a glue gun.

Twist flower tape around the ends of the flower petals, and then work downwards while continuously adding leaves and spiral-twisted branches.

At last, you can add a little extra detail to the flower with a bit of acrylic paint or ink. When the flowers are dry, adjust the flowers by gently pulling on the crepe paper.
