We begin with the stems first. To shape the stems, you need to take one green cardstock. Fold it in half. Using a ruler, measure an inch from the open edge to the center and draw a line. This line will help you with the cutting. But if you are pretty sure that your cutting will be accurate, you can skip this one.

Make some strip narrow cuts from the folded edge up to the line that you have made. If you have done the cutting, unfold the paper. Using the scissors, straighten the paperback so that it is as straight as it was. Apply some glue to one of the edges of the paper and fold it in half.

Take another green paper and fold it in half width-wise. Fold it in half again. Make a line along the width of the folded paper. Again, if you are sure that you can cut the paper accurately, you do not have to draw a line.

Make some zig-zag cuttings from the edge to the line. Make sure the zig-zag cuttings are not too wide. They have to be less than an inch. To make it more natural, you can vary the length of the cutting.

If you have done the cutting, you can unfold the paper.

Step 2: Assemble The Stems

To shape some beautiful flowers, you need to get a square paper with the color of your choice and cut it off to create four new smaller squares.

Take one of the smaller squares and fold it in half. Fold it in half again so that you get a very small square. Fold the tiny square diagonally to get a tiny triangle. Cut off the bottom part of the folded side a bit. Cut it diagonally and do not cut more than ¼. After that, cut the opposite side a bit. Cut it diagonally, too. Unfold the paper.

Repeat these steps to the other papers. You can make small flowers as many as possible. But if you think that these steps are quite difficult, you always have a plan B.

Take one of the smaller squares and draw a flower on it. Cut off the flower by cutting along the line you drew and a flower is ready. These steps might take more time to make a flower, but it is much easier than the previous one. But the choice is yours.

Once you have got all the flowers, you can begin to make some tiny circles. After that, apply a little glue to the circles and attach them to the flowers. Make sure that the circles you are going to attach have a different color from the flowers so that they can make conspicuous as well as pretty good centers.

Step 4: Assembling The Flowers

If you have got the flowers that you want, apply some glue to the back of the flowers and attach them to the green stems. If you use a hot glue gun, make sure that you only apply a dot of glue. Applying too much hot glue will only create a bulk on the surface of the flowers which will ruin their look.

Now a wonderful yet simple flower bouquet is ready to embellish your kids’ bedroom. Colorful colors look really great with simple green stems, don’t they?
