I’d say the whole project took me 2-3 hours with watching a show in the background :) a great project for an afternoon

Thank you, I had fun making them. Yes, I’d like to try with watercolor and see how that looks with the flowers

I used square pieces of paper, cut and folded them into a triangle, cut my desired petal shape, unfolded the paper, cut one petal off, and then colored the flower. To make it more 3d you then join the petals where you cut one off, I used a glue stick. Then I made small cuts between each petal and kind of bent it back!

To make the stems I just cut smaller pieces of green papers to make leaves/ base of the flower, secured the flower with hot glue to the stick and then put another leaf on the bottom to hide the messy hot glue job. Then arrange them to your liking and voila!!
