Likewise, to get different sizes of petal, you have to cut it with different lengths.

You can make yours as per your flower demand.

As the middle portion of the flower which is shown in the figure has to covered by crepe paper, so it’s better to use newspaper.

Squeeze the newspaper like an oval shape and then fix it with flower stem made in the earlier step.

I used hot glue to fix it.

Sprinkle some glitter powder over the semi dried coloured canvas.

Let it be dry completely.
