Production of flowers from paper begins with petals. The paper is folded several times, on the upper layer a petal is drawn, the lower part of which should be wider than the upper one. This allows the petals to fold more easily and to take the desired shape more easily. On their outer side, squeeze out a little glue and cover the paper with sequins. For convenience, petals can dunk in liquid glue, and then in sequins. Let all the petals dry until the sequins will not hold on to them very tightly. From thick paper or cardboard, cut a small smooth circle( 1.5-2 cm in diameter).Next, form petals, compressing their lower parts and forming small assemblies.

Now the very process of flower formation begins. First, the first layer of petals is pasted. In order to do this symmetrically, the first petals are located exactly opposite each other, and all the others are already fastened between them. It turns out approximately 6-8 petals in the first layer. The second layer is located already closer to the center of the circle and there are accordingly 4-6 petals. After the petals are ready, in the middle of the flower is attached a beautiful decorative bead or button.

So, the flower is ready! It remains to attach it to the gift box with glue and you can safely hand the gift.
