For this project, you will need one piece of copy paper cut in a square. Mine was 5″ but any size will work. These are fun to fold and then the result is fun to play with. It can also be a good stress reliever. Try making them in different sizes and try spinning them with each hand. You will find that one hand can spin it better than the other.

These paper flowers make great decor pieces. Consider making one for your mother for Mother’s Day. I am sure she will be surprised and cherish it. You can add a stem and leaves if you desire, or use it at a place setting, or in a glass at the dinner table. They look really detailed but are rather simple to make. I bet you will not stop at just making one once you learn how.

Directions:
If necessary, cut your paper into squares before we begin.

Here is the final flower with a bit of watercolor marker added by watering it down with a water brush pen to the petals.

The french knots and flower petals use 6 strand embroidery thread, all other stitches use 2 strands.
This video tutorial shares how to fold a paper ball, about the size of a baseball, from one sheet of paper. The sheet of paper is cut down into three strips of paper that get intertwined with each other. The materials used are simple but the result is really dynamic. Once you make one, you will want to do it again! The paper balls are fun to play with or to use a decoration. Run a string through them and you can hang them in the doorway or make a few and put them in a glass jar.

To begin you will need to print out your chosen template from the variety offered below. If you choose the blank design or the coloring design, you will need to color those first before you proceed with the video tutorial.
