If you’re making them as decorations for a party, follow your color palette.
Make sure your scissors are strong and sharp in order to cut through that many layers. If they’re too dull, they’ll mangle the paper and make rough cuts.
Floral wire works well and looks nice, but you can also use a pipe cleaner to make a stem. [5] X Research source
If you want to display the flower on a wall or flat surface, only separate and fluff the layers on one side. Leave the back completely flat so it can easily rest against a flat surface. If you want to suspend the flower, such as with string from the ceiling, fluff out both sides evenly. Leave some space for the center on both sides.
To suspend the flowers, tie a length of monofilament to the floral wire and hang from the ceiling. [7] X Research source
You can make the petals any size you want, but 1 in (2. 5 cm) wide is generally a realistic size.
You can also double up petals for more fullness. Cover as much of the wire with petals as possible–add extra petals in spots where the wire peeks through. If you made leaves, glue those to the base of the stem.
