00:35♪
00:39So I will start with any simple napkins.
00:43In this case, I'm using the few that I have found around the house.
00:48And you can take as many number of layers as you want.
00:53In my case, I'm choosing to use four napkins for this particular flower.
00:58So I stack them on top of each other.
01:01And then I'm going to four them like fan.
01:05♪
01:11So I'm going to take the pair of scissors.
01:14And I'm going to cut these both edges.
01:17♪
01:21Just to give them an even.
01:24And then I will hold this from the center.
01:27And then press it tightly.
01:30And then I'll take my wire.
01:34And I'll cut like a length of seven, eight inches.
01:39♪
01:44And then I'm going to tie a knot here.
01:50In the middle.
01:53So now we have this fan.
01:56And it's going to look like this.
01:58So these two edges will make our petals.
02:02So I will do...
02:05I'll just cut them like...
02:07♪
02:13So now we have something like this.
02:18So it will start to look like flower.
02:21♪
02:28And at this point, I'll start ruffling this out.
02:33♪
02:38And by this step, you can decide if you want to go a step further.
02:42In that case, I will try to make a center for this particular flower.
02:47♪
02:50For that, I would need the glue and these mustard seeds.
02:56♪
02:59So I'm making a dab of glue in the center.
03:04You can make it round, any shape that you please.
03:09And I'm going to take these mustard seeds and then just sprinkle on top.
03:14♪
03:19♪
03:24♪
03:29♪
03:32I get a lot of package materials.
03:35And I just feel bad because I don't want to throw it away
03:39because there's nothing wrong with that paper.
03:41And then forge these into these branches.
03:43And hopefully, maybe at some point, it will be like a pergola
03:46with vines taking over and stuff.
