- Start by flattening a toilet paper roll. This will make it easy to sketch on your flower outlines as well as cut it out with a simple pair of scissors.
- Using a pencil or marker, sketch on a flower stem like shown above. You can shape the petals and leaves however you’d like with straight or curvy lines.
- While holding the toilet paper roll flat, cut out the empty space of the flower (on both sides of the toilet paper roll at the same time).
- Next, paint and decorate the flowers however you’d like! You could even add additional details with supplies you have on hand such as tissue paper, rhinestones, glitter, etc.
The beauty of these paper flowers is that they stand up on their own, making for a colorful spring time decoration. Not only are they cheap to make with supplies you most likely have at home, this colorful craft is fun and easy enough for kids of all ages to make!
