You will need; most
importantly some old envelopes with fancy patterns on the inside of them, you
will also need scissors, staples, a stapler and a split pin.
Cut three strips out of
the envelope that are about 1 ½ cm wide. Hold one of the strips by an end so
you can see the inside of the envelope, then make a loop to the right and come
back behind the first end (that you are holding.) Then do the same to the other
side. Make both ends of the strip stick out the bottom a bit so you can bend them
behind to stop it all coming undone.
Now do the same to the
other strips. If you don’t understand what I am saying you can look at the photos
and hopefully will be able to work it out from them.
Place the middles of
the three lots of ‘petals’ together then put two staple through them all. That
may sound easy but that was the probably the hardest bit. Then bend the staples
in to make the flower bend a bit. You can put a hole in it then put a split pin
through the hole and attach your flower to a card or something else.
You can also cut a
thinner strip for the middle. Twist it round in the same way as you did others except
make three ‘petals’. Then make a hole in the centre and put a split pin through
them all. And you have a flower made from an envelope.
