Assembly
Once all the pieces are cut, fold the larger pieces at the score line. You will make a kind of sandwich. Start with a large piece folded at the score line and then add a small piece on top. Tape glue or liquid glue work fine for this.
Then add another folded piece and so on until all the pieces are added. You should end up with a small piece on top. Release the sandwich and connect the first large piece with the last small piece.
The flower should have five “petals” or spines that can be spread easily so that looking from the top you have a star. The flower is done and you can add leaves if you want.
I have made a page with all the links to the paper flower tutorials. The tutorials for the other paper and felt flowers from Flower Week can be found here.
Here is a picture of the wreath I made from all the paper flowers from Flower Week.
