Let’s get started!
Steps
1. Cut your petals. Layer a few sheets of tissue paper together, then cut out large petal shapes in soft yellow, white, or orange tones. Don’t worry about making them perfectly even, the slightly organic shapes make the flowers feel more natural and handmade.
2. Now let’s rip some scrap paper up to form the daffodil centers. Once you have your ripped paper, roll the pieces to create a cone shape. Use a small piece of tape to secure the shape.
3. Next, tape the daffodil cone onto the paper straw with your washi tape.
4. Poke a straw size hole through your paper petals. Then push the straw through the paper petals so they surround the daffodil cone.
5. Arrange your petals in a star shape and gently press the center onto the top of a paper straw. Use a small piece of tape or washi tape to secure the petals in place and create the base of your daffodil bloom.
