Petal flower
If you believe paper crafts were only for older children, you’re mistaken, below we make fun and easy flower.
What You'll Need
Purple construction paper
Scissors
Directions
Make a paper square, start out with a square piece of paper, preferably thin or lightweight paper.
Fold in half again into triangle shape and again in the middle to come up with an even smaller triangle.
Rotate the triangle so that the longest side is positioned vertically and the solid corner is at the bottom.
Bring the bottom short side towards the triangle’s long side and cut above the horizontal straight edge.
Draw an arc starting from the top corner of the triangle’s vertical side and ending about half inch, this arc defines the shape of the flower petals. Cut along the arc, now cut along the line and unfold the fold to create a petal flower and you are done.

What You’ll Need

Fold the paper over evenly, you should get a rectangle half the size of your original piece.
