🖌️ How to Make a Daisy Flower Out of Paper

Step 1: Choose a colour for your daisy flower and cut a strip out of it. I used a 24 cm x 4 cm strip.

Step 2: Fold the strip into half lengthwise.

Step 3: Fold the strip in half lengthwise once again.

Step 4: Use scissors to create a zigzag edge along any one sides of the folded paper’s length. I did 6 zigzag cutouts along the edge of the folded paper.

Step 5: Unfold the 2 folds done in steps 2 and 3.

Step 6: For the flower, we need an odd number of zigzags on the strip. We now have 24 zigzags along the edge of the strip, so we’ll cut off any one zigzag from either side.

Step 7: Now, neatly create accordion folds on the strips, using the zigzag edge as the guideline for the accordion folds.

Step 8: Continue to make accordion folds until reaching the other end of the strip. Take the accordion-folded paper and apply a small amount of glue on any one side.

Step 9: Bring the other side of the strip and join it with the glued part neatly.

Step 10: Press the top end of the accordion-folded paper roll and push it towards the center.

Step 11: Before going to the next step we’ll need to cut out 2 circles from yellow craft paper and apply glue on them.

Step 12: Place the accordion folded paper roll on a flat surface.

Step 13: Place the glued circle on the center of the pressed accordion folded paper and carefully flip the pattern and glue the other glued circle on the other side of it. Hold and press the circles firmly for a few seconds until the glue is dried. You will now get the daisy flower look!

Step 14: Cut out a stem and a leaf pattern from green cardstock paper.

Step 15: Glue the leaf (leaves) on the stem pattern and the daisy flower on the top end of the stem. You're all done! You may want to create a flower garden or glue these flowers onto a card as a get-well-soon card or a card for Mother's Day, or any other special occasion.

💡 Pro Tip: Turn the paper dog into a puppet for storytelling, making the craft more interactive and encouraging creativity and imaginative play in children.

🧑‍🎨 Expert Tips

Start with a Brown Bag: Use a brown paper bag as the base for the dog's face. It provides a solid structure and adds a cute, realistic touch to your craft.
Cut Out the Shapes: Cut out felt pieces for the dog’s ears, eyes, nose, and a red glitter paper tongue. This will help create a colorful and textured face.
Add Details with Markers: Use a black marker to draw extra details, like the dog’s mouth, whiskers, and any other fun features to personalize your design.
Glue the Pieces Together: Assemble the face by gluing the cut-out felt pieces onto the front of the paper bag. Let the glue dry completely to avoid any pieces from falling off.
Personalize Your Dog: Don’t forget to add fun accessories, like a collar, spots, or a bow tie, to give your paper dog character and uniqueness.
Create a Puppet: Turn your paper dog into a fun puppet by adding movable parts like a mouth or hands for interactive storytelling and play.
