Just make little cuts every 1/2′ or so all along the side of your strip where the fold is.Don’t cut all the way through though!

Leave about 1/4″ at the bottom uncut so all your petals stay held together!.This is me trying to hold it in place so you could see what I did.I really should have remembered to take pictures when I had Kennedy helping me.

I need more hands!.You can also mix it up and do the same type of cuts on the non-folded side.. Use a bead of hot glue along the whole length of your strip to keep it folded in half .. Now comes the fun part where it all comes together!

Start rolling your flower up, using hot glue as you go to hold everything together.. Get the Kids Involved.

When I made these with kids, I would have them cut their strips and cut their petals, and then I would have them come over to the “gluing station” so they could have me glue their flower for them.Obviously you can’t tell when it’s mid-November and all the leaves are gone, but the whole front half right by the road was dead..

So we had to have it cut down.It was quite the impressive operation though!.

They started out by using this super-long chainsaw-on-a-stick thing to remove all of the smaller lower branches.. Then, we actually had to  have our power line to the house disconnected so that all the machinery could be moved in closer to the tree..Since Chris was home that day to watch the spectacle, we decided to also paint our kitchen cabinets.
