Recycle newspaper and packing paper into a host of beautiful blooms!
These beautiful flowers are really simple to make but look really impressive, especially in multiples. They're pretty quick and easy to make and very cheap! If you prefer to watch a video tutorial I have one here for you: https://youtu.be/siGcuBCQJtk

You Will Need
-
Step 1Start by cutting a stack of paper rectangles, mine are roughly A4 size. You need between 3-8 sheets of paper for a good bloom! Newspaper makes quite a chunky bloom but you can also use tissue paper, packing paper or anything reasonably light weight.
-
Step 2Stack your rectangles and fold them (all together) into a concertina (paper fan.)
-
Step 3Fold the concertina in half and bind the centre with your pipe cleaner. If you haven't got pipe cleaners then a bit of wire, a sandwich tie or even thread will work.
-
Step 4Round off each end of the concertina to make petals.
-
Step 5Open up the concertina into a circle and then very carefully lift and separate each layer. This bit can be a bit fiddly so take your time!
-
Step 6Admire your bloom! Make some more and use up all that scrap paper!
