Flowers like we have mentioned above are not only good to look at but also to smell. Different types of flowers will cost differently but what better way to cut down on costs than by making an artificial flower at home? Artificial flowers are mostly made out of plastic and metal but we can easily make some by using cartoon paper. Most people will opt for this type of flowers as they do not wither like the natural flowers thus meaning they will be more durable. However, artificial flowers will cost money as well and that is why we give you a few tips on how to go about making a few from the comfort of your home.

You will first need to collect together the items that you will need to use. The most important items to get when making an artificial flower will be a pair of scissors, colored cartoon paper, glue and or staples. Most of these things we can find them at home apart from the cartoon paper that we can buy from a books store. Once you have everything that you need, you can download the steps from the internet. Just type in the keywords and you will have instructions on how to make different types of flowers. And now since you have everything plus the steps you can begin.

The steps on how to make an artificial flower are quit easy. First you will want to measure the cartoon paper according to the dimensions that you want, that is do you want a big or small flower. The next step is to start folding the paper in order to come up with the shape of the flower. You can staple or glue the folds together so that they do not straighten out. Remember that you want the artificial flower to last as long as possible and this can only happen if the paper does not straighten out and loose the shape of the flower.

Once you have managed to fold the paper appropriately, try to trim out the crocked ends so that you give it a clean finish. Be careful so as not to cut too deep and ruin the entire design of the flower. Make out as many artificial flowers from different colors of cartoon paper and place them together. The trick to making a beautiful artificial flower is to keep the design as simple as possible.
