How do you make paper flowers step by step?

Begin by laying your template on your card stock of choice and trace your petals.

[{"selector":"#anim-a998fe9d-ebe3-449c-ab10-43a9911dc00b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-83b86771-4292-4a29-b59c-4eae5ed4bb57","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4b4238c3-9491-4d2d-aa95-0dc4f16fad48","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":1000,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Floral Pattern Floral Pattern

Cut all your petals out once you have finished tracing. You can make this process quicker by stacking 2-3 sheets on top of one another and cutting several out at once.

[{"selector":"#anim-6e340c72-6830-468a-9719-d03672ec2f54","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-236060c9-b8f0-4a38-9f62-ecf6c538da87","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d8587449-a251-4e3a-a571-89053e8909be","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":1000,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Floral Pattern Floral Pattern

Use binder clips to help keep paper from moving.

[{"selector":"#anim-2c2214a0-969c-402d-bf72-fa838d66b2b4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8036dec8-7c9c-4100-b783-b5cd59140021","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bf69ecc4-13b6-419a-9de9-737f523523c1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":1000,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Floral Pattern Floral Pattern

Now you want to cut slits at the bottom center of each petal, about an inch, slightly less on the smaller petals.

[{"selector":"#anim-6339aef4-301e-462f-a46f-d5d1c7bc6b5d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0d21982f-8099-48ae-b44f-f8e3b8c863a9","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d1eac3a4-e750-4a84-912f-aa8df0655c73","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":1000,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Floral Pattern Floral Pattern

Starting with the 1st layer put glue on the inside edge and over lap the slit, but not too much or your petals will be too tight when assembled to get all the smaller layers in.

[{"selector":"#anim-00e45bd2-3161-4dc9-b69e-50fa8f2518f6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a8edd057-4b10-45fa-9043-992d7c403650","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-013337bb-1a6c-4538-86d2-d9b0712d63dd","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":1000,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Floral Pattern Floral Pattern

Continue in this way until all the base petals meet together forming a circle in the center of the flower.
