Materials Needed:

• Paper ( Purple and Green)
• Crepe Paper (Green)
• Pencil
• Ruler
• Scissors
• Glue
• Wooden Skewer

Step 1

Take a 2.5 x 28 cm of purple color paper and fold it in half.

Step 2

Open the paper and apply glue to the lengthwise edges. Avoid applying glue to the entire surface. Now fold the paper again so edges can stick together.

Step 3

After that fold the paper strip in half and cut small slits on the paper as showing below. Make sure to create even cuts on the paper so the petals of Lavender will look uniform and realistic. You can also mark the paper using a pencil.

Step 4

Now, apply a thin layer of glue to the edge of the paper strip. Then, place a wooden skewer on the paper. Start rolling the strip around the skewer, overlapping each layer slightly. Continue rolling until the strip is completely wrapped around the skewer. Once the strip is wrapped, secure it in place with a dab of glue.

Step 5

Cut a 1cm-wide strip of green crepe paper. Then, wrap the strip around the wooden skewer. Once the stem is completely covered, secure it in place with a dab of glue.

Step 6

To create realistic-looking leaves for your paper Lavender flower, first cut a piece of green paper measuring 5 x 6 cm. Then, make zigzag cuts along the paper, starting at one end and working your way to the other.

Step 7

To attach the leaves to the flower stem, first apply a small amount of glue to the back of each leaf. Then, carefully position the leaves around the stem, overlapping them slightly. Once the leaves are in place, press them down firmly to secure them in place.

Step 8

Make a bunch of Lavender flowers in different shades of purple to make it look more beautiful!
