Step 1. Cut the paper into 4" squares.
Step 2. Fold each of the four pieces of paper the same. Next, make a simple fold in half horizontally to make a large triangle. Fold that triangle in half and in half again. Make sure edges are folded crisp.
Step 3. There should be 8 folded segments in the paper.
Step 4. Using a pencil, trace a half circle near the open end of the paper, creating a teardrop shape. Use scissors to cut out the shape. Snip the tip of the paper, too. Open each piece of paper.
Step 5. In one piece of paper, cut out 1 segment and set both pieces aside. Next, take a second piece, cut out 2 segments. Take the third piece, cut out 3 segments, and in the fourth piece, cut it in half.
Step 6. Line up your pieces in order, 1 segment, 2 segments, 3 segments, etc. You'll follow this to assemble your flower petals.
Step 7. Using a glue stick, and beginning with the 3 segmented piece, glue the piece together, keeping the center open. Set aside to dry and repeat with the remaining segments 4 through 7. You can also use hot glue for the layer of petals, but I prefer a glue stick.
Step 8. Use a pencil to roll the ends of the pieces you just glued.
Step 9. Roll up the single segment and glue on the end. White glue works best for this.
Step 10. Roll segment 2 around the center. Add glue to the tip and tuck into segment 3.
Step 11. Repeat, gluing and tucking each segment into the center of the next segment of layers.
Step 12. When finished, set aside to dry.
Step 13. Create the stem. Add a skewer and tuck it into the open center of the flower. Affix with white glue or floral tape.
Step 14. To make leaves, Cut them out of green paper.
Step 15. Attach with white glue to the skewer.
Step 16. Repeat if desired and add as many leaves as you prefer in your bouquet.
