Materials You’ll Need

• Cardboard egg cartons
• Scissors
• Glue (hot glue or craft glue)
• Paint and paintbrush (optional)
• Floral wire or craft stick for the stem
• Decorative pot or vase for display

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Egg Carton Pieces
   Cut the egg carton into four individual compartments. These will become the petals of your flower.

2. Shape the Petals
   For the first piece, cut six slits to create six “petals.”
   For the second piece, cut five slits for five petals.
   For the third and fourth pieces, cut four slits each to create four petals.
   Round the edges of each petal to give them a smooth, curved shape like real flower petals.

3. Assemble the Flower
   Layer the pieces, starting with the six-petal layer at the bottom. Stack the five-petal layer next, followed by the two four-petal layers.
   Arrange each layer slightly offset from the one below it to mimic the natural look of a flower.
   Secure each layer with glue.

4. Add a Stem
   Attach a floral wire or craft stick to the base of the flower with glue to serve as the stem.

5. Add Finishing Touches
   Paint the petals in your desired color for a vibrant look or keep them natural for a rustic charm.
   Once dry, place your flower in a decorative pot or vase.

Materials You’ll Need:

• Materials You’ll Need
• Coffee filters
• Pencil or marker
• Scissors
• Floral wire or a craft stick for the stem
• Glue (hot glue or craft glue)
• Bowl of water and food coloring (optional for coloring)
• A flower pot or vase for display

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Coffee Filters
   Flatten your coffee filters and use a pencil to draw a double-curve shape resembling a flower petal.
   Cut along the lines to create petal shapes. Each filter should give you 6–8 petals.

2. Divide the Petals
   Gently tear each petal into two pieces, creating slightly thinner, uneven petals for a more natural look.

3. Assemble the Flower
   Start layering the petals, slightly overlapping them as you go.
   Use glue to secure the layers together at the base of the flower.
   Repeat the layering process until you achieve your desired fullness.

4. Add the Stem
   Attach a piece of floral wire or a craft stick to the base of your flower using glue. This will serve as the stem.

5. Add Color (Optional)
   Mix a few drops of food coloring in a bowl of water. Dip the edges of the flower into the colored water to give it a soft gradient effect. Allow it to dry completely.

6. Display Your Flower
   Once dry, place your flower in a decorative pot or vase to brighten up any room.
