DESCRIPTION OF WORK
1.For each flower, cut a piece of 9 x 9 cm from silk straw. First, fold the part lengthwise, then square. From the motif sheet, increase the petals and leaves to an appropriate size, transfer to thin cardboard and cut exactly along the contour. Place the template on the folded part, circle the contours and cut it out. For one green sheet of green crepe paper, cut out, respectively, two pieces measuring 9 x 9 cm and glue them with a glue stick. Overlay the template and cut the sheet.Stamens made of yellow crepe paper strip measuring 5 x 4 cm. Cut the strip several times with scissors to a depth of 3 cm (Fig. 1).
2.After that, put two petals, respectively, on top of each other and make a hole with sharp scissors in the middle. Strip the strip of yellow crepe paper carefully into a tube and tie a piece of thin wire. Gently twist the cut strips in the upper part between the fingers into thin stamens. Then put it into the hole in the petal, wire everything up. Wrap the flower’s neck and wire in the form of a pedicel with green floristic lace (when wrapping it is glued), periodically grabbing one or two leaves (Fig. 2).
