Paper Flowers

Hey guys! Wow, it's been quite a while, huh? Well, anyway, here's something that I really enjoyed doing. I made some PAPER FLOWERS out of old magazines. I really like this idea because it's super earth friendly and would be a great little thing to give someone. So here it is:

You'll need

Scissors, a ruler, a magazine, straws (or a pencil) a hole puncher, and one of those little golden buttons

Ok, so your  paper needs to be about 10.5 inches. It can be more or less around that area.

So I'm using a magazine I found on the floor of me room :P

Anyway, you want to make strips of it, 1/2 of an inch across.

You need to punch a hole 1/2 and inch from EACH end, and then one in the middle (just fold the strip in half on then punch the hole on the crease).

So now you are going to take your straw or pencil and you are going to put it through the middle hole, then the outer hole, then the other outer hole. 

Keep on doing that for each strip.

Now you're all done!! :)

Here is the flower with the straw as a stem

Here is a flower with a pencil as a stem. I put an eraser on top so that it wouldn't fall apart, though.
