Tips

  • If you want your flower to have symmetrical petals, fold a piece of paper into 4, draw one petal on the folded corner and cut, this way, when you unfold it, you'll have four symmetrical petals that will look exactly the same. Just make sure you draw the petal on the right corner of the paper or when you cut it, the petals will fall apart.
