Materials You Will Need
- Colorful craft paper
- Scissors
- Glue stick
- Pencil
- Green pipe cleaner
- Ruler
Step 1: Gather Your Materials
Before you start making your paper mimosa, make sure you have all the required materials ready. This will help you stay organized throughout the process and ensure a smooth crafting experience.
Step 2: Cut the Craft Paper
Take the colorful craft papers and use the ruler and pencil to measure and mark 6-inch squares on them. Carefully cut out these squares using the scissors. The number of squares you cut will depend on how many flowers you want to make.
Step 3: Create the Flower Shape
Now, take one of the cut-out squares and fold it diagonally to form a triangle. Then, fold the triangle in half to create a smaller triangle. Repeat this step with all the squares.
Step 4: Cut the Triangle
With the folded triangle in hand, carefully cut along the open side, leaving a small space towards the point of the triangle uncut. This will create the shape of your mimosa flower.
Step 5: Unfold the Paper
Gently unfold the paper, and you will see the beautiful flower shape you’ve created. Make sure to repeat steps 3 to 5 with all the folded triangles to have multiple flower shapes.
Step 6: Stick the Flowers Together
Once you have all the flower shapes ready, take a small amount of glue stick and apply it to the center of one of the flowers. Then, carefully stick another flower on top of it, ensuring their petals align nicely. Repeat this process until you have the desired number of flowers stuck together.
Step 7: Add the Stem
Take the green pipe cleaner and wrap one end around the base of the flower cluster. Twist the pipe cleaner towards the stem to secure it firmly. You can adjust the length of the stem as per your preference by cutting off any excess.
Step 8: Arrange and Display
Your paper mimosa is now complete! You can arrange and display it in a vase or use it as a decorative element for any occasion. Get creative and experiment with different colors to make your paper mimosa truly unique!
