Cut Out the Pieces
Carefully cut out all the elements:
Leaf
Bud (flower top)
Stem
Round stamens
Trace onto Colored Paper
Use the cut pieces as templates to trace and cut shapes from colored paper:
Choose any color for the flower bud (we used blue)
Cut the stem and leaves from green paper
Make the round stamens yellow
Prepare the Base
Take a sheet of cardstock in any color as the background. A white base works beautifully for a clean look.
Glue the Stem
Attach the stem near the bottom center of the cardstock.
Create the Bud
Before gluing, make small vertical cuts along the top edge of the bud. Then glue it above the stem.
Add the Leaves
Glue two leaves on each side of the stem.
Make It 3D
Use a pencil to gently curl the cut strips on the bud outward. This gives the flower a fun, объемный (3D) effect.
Attach the Stamens
Glue the yellow circles above the bud.
Draw Details
Use a black marker or pen to connect the stamens to the bud with thin lines.
Your cheerful spring flower craft is now complete!
