MATERIALS
- Red crepe paper
- Green pipe cleaners
- Scissors
METHOD
- Cut the crepe paper into strips that are approximately 2 inches wide and 24 inches long.
- Hold a strip on one end, close to the bottom corner. Start gathering the crepe paper around this end. As you do this, the crepe paper will form layers of petals going around the starting point.
- Continue gathering the crepe paper strip around the centre until the strip ends. Now your lovely crepe paper rose is ready.
- Add a stem. To do this, twist the green pipe cleaner around the bottom of the rose several times.
- Make many roses and put them in a vase to brighten up your room!
