Junk mail flowers

15 Mar

Here’s a tutorial to make your own junk mail flowers

Things you’ll need:

Instructions:

Take a piece of junk mail and your pencil roll the junk mail around your pencil (leave a small amount of pencil sticking out), this will be a flower stem
Glue/tape the edge of the flyer and stick down
Remove your pencil from the tube and leave to dry
Next up is making the petals, if you have junk mail that’s a booklet, that’s good for petals so you get lots the same. Cut your chosen petal shape out, these work best if you have a narrow bottom edge to your petal
Put glue/tape on the bottom edge of your petal and attach firmly to the top of your stalk
Repeat with your desired number of petals
Once the glue is dry, if you’re using glue, start to fold back the petals, one at a time, to create an open flower shape
Take another piece of junk mail and cut out some leave shapes, fold yout leaf in half lengthways to help give it a good leaf-y shape
Put glue/tape at the bottom of your leaf and attach to your stem, this could be near your flower, or further down your stalk.
Repeat this process till you have the number of flowers you would like, or you have used up all your junk mail
