Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1
Take an A4 sized paper
Step 2
Measure and cut two strips one with a 4” thickness and the other with 3” thickness
Step 3
Colour the strip using Artistry Ink - Fall Fiesta
Blend the ink on the paper using a blending tool and a blending foam from one edge of the strip
Step 4
The blending effect is darker on the edges
Step 5
Fold the strip in a fanfold

The smaller strip is also folded in a fanfold
Step 7
Open the fanfold and draw the petal shapes on the last two folds as shown in the image
Step 8
Gather all the folds and cut along the petals drawn
Cut the upper edge in a triangular shape
Step 9
Gather and stick the free cut ends using Fevicol MR as shown in the image

Repeat step 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 to form the smaller flower
Step 14
Similarly, you will need to make two such layers for each flower
Step 15

A close up of the stones stuck on the edges of the flower
For ease, you may use a toothpick for picking up the stones for sticking
The trick to pick up the stones with the toothpick is to put a small drop of Fevicryl Fabric Glue on the tip of the toothpick and let it dry completely. The little tackiness in the Fabric Glue on the tip of the toothpick will help to pick up tiny ornamental stones for sticking
Step 17
Stick the smaller flower on the bigger flower to form a two layered flower using Fevicol MR
The central part of the flower is then covered with a round patch of paper coloured in Artistry Ink and then further decorated with ornamental stones
Take a skewer stick and cover it using a green floral tape
Stick the skewer stick on the rear side of the flower using Fevicryl Fabric Glue
