Measure about 2" from each end of the tube and draw a ring on each side.

From each ring on one side, draw lines every 1/2". Draw the lines on the other end starting in the middle of the lines from the first ring. I noticed the flowers look better if cut this way but only after I did the first flower so the snips in the photo below the next one are not correct.

Snip along each line to make petals.

Fold the petals back to create a flower.

Paint the flowers and bamboo skewers and let dry.

Cut out green leaves and glue to the skewers.

Push the skewer through one end of the flower's center until it touches the other end.

Crumple some tissue paper or toilet paper and glue in the center. If you use toilet paper as we did you'll need to paint that too.
