Choose a good-looking, durable construction paper in a cheerful, bright color, such as yellow. Use scissors to cut at least six petals, each at least 10 cm long. If you like, you can also use a pencil to lightly outline the petals and then cut along the inside of the line to avoid pencil marks. You can also use one petal as a template to cut out the rest, or you can create 6 slightly different shapes - after all, the petals on a real flower won't be exactly the same.
    • If you wish to add extra texture to the petals, you can curl them with a pencil so that they curve upward.
    • You can also consider making petals out of tissue paper, or a mix of tissue paper and real petals.
