Flower making

With Mr Peacock, we also made 'flowers' out of newspaper, magazine and thin strips of cardboard, all recycled. This is how we did it.

1. Place five or six sheets of newspaper onto a table in a rectangular shape. Then roll them all up into a long tube, starting at the bottom corner. 
2. Next, stand the tube up, resting on a chair legs. Attach using some thin thread, and chop off the ends to make them even. 
3. Take a page of a magazine and cut into it horizontally, at different thickness's and lengths for effect. 
4. Next, glue at the top of the page using a Pritt stick. Then stick it around the tube at any point.  
5. Repeat this process several times, at different places on the tube, until you feel satisfied! 
6. Then use a pencil to roll up the strips of cardboard, and fit into the top of the tube. Repeat this four or five times. Create a small 'collar' using a very thin strip of cardboard to fit around the too of the tube. Secure with masking tape.

Unfortunately, I could not find any example pictures of this work.
