Paper orchids add elegance to a gift-wrapped present.
When wrapping a gift, add decorations that make the present look more artistic and creative, such as bows and paper flowers. Although you can buy paper flowers from a card shop or department store, they often only have a few generic types of flowers. If you want to make an exotic paper flower, such as an orchid, you can do so using a few basic craft materials.
Instructions
1. Paint a sheet of card stock using pink and purple acrylic paint. Allow the paint to dry completely.
2. Cut out four 3-inch circles from the card stock.
3. Cut out three 1-inch circles from the card stock.
4. Glue the three smaller circles together into a triangular formation.
5. Glue the four larger circles together into a square formation.
6. Glue the smaller formation to the middle of the larger formation. Allow the glue to dry completely.
7. Add detailing onto the orchid, such as yellow pollen or streaks on the petals, using colored pencils.
