| Step 1 Using your construction paper and a ruler, measure out a bunch of equal strips. (we used the long side of the paper, and the width of the ruler for the measurments.) |
| Step 2 Cut down each line so that you have a bunch of strips. Cut whatever colors you want in your project, you'll need about 5 strips per flower. |
| Step 3 Optional for Younger children. Using a hole puncher, make a hole at each end of the strips, and in the middle. This makes it easier for young fingers to work with. |
| Step 4 Using your pipe cleaner as the stem, poke it through the end of your first strip. |
| Step 5 Fold the strip over so that you can poke the pipe cleaner through the middle hole in the strip. |
| Step 6 Then fold it over again to poek the pipe cleaner through the final hole on that strip. It should form a figure eight shape. |
| Step 7 Continue to add your strips of paper to the pipe cleaner in this fashion. Do it so that your petals are spread out and not right on top of eachother. |
| Step 8 You can add in different colored strips, if you like, or keep them all the same color. |
| Step 9 For the final strip, If you want to write a message on it, loosely paper clip the center and write on top. For this strip, you want to thread the two ends first, then the center. |
| Step 10 Attach your button. You can use a regular button, or one with a loop on the back, doesn't matter. Bend the pipe clener backwards, and hide back inside the flower. |
