Brown Paper Flowers:
Supplies:
– Scissor
– 6-8 brown paper bags
– Glue stick
– Leaf template (if needed)
Directions:
1. With the bottom flap faced toward you, cut off the bottom of the bag right above the fold.
2. Free hand a leaf shape or use a leaf template. Make the leaf shape as wide as you can. Leave one end flat and the other pointed. Note: as you cut the leaves, smaller parts will fall out. Save these for the section part of the flower.
3. Slightly fold the larger leaves in half and glue flat ends together in a flower shape. Repeat until you have a full flower. Stop at about 8 leaves for the large flower.
4. Now get the smaller leaf parts and do the same thing as step 3.
5. Now glue the smaller flower on top of the large one.
