Nothing says Spring more than daffodils. All you’ll need is paper of varying yellow shades, scissors, a glue stick and a pipe cleaner. Follow the instructions below:
1. Start with a 4″ square of paper.
2. Fold in half diagonally.
3. Fold in half diagonally again.
4. And one more time.
5. Cut into a petal shape and snip a hole in the tip. Open to reveal the petals.
6. Now cut the center circle to 2 1/2″.
7. Cut this circle in half.
8. With the glue stick, apply glue to one side of an edge.
9. Shape the half-circle into a cone.
10. Fold down one end of the pipe cleaner.
11. Apply some glue to the center of the flower.
12. Assemble by putting the cone into the flower opening, then putting the pipe cleaner through this hole, securing with the pipe cleaner.
Happy Spring!
