Instructions<\/h2><p><strong data-start=\"182\" data-end=\"215\">Step 1: Gather Your Materials<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Download and print the flower template. You\u2019ll also need scissors, tape, and a straw or pipe cleaner for the stem.<\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-size: inherit;\"><strong data-start=\"340\" data-end=\"372\">Step 2: Colour Your Template<\/strong><\/span><\/p><ul><li><span style=\"font-size: inherit;\">Decorate the flower template using your favourite colours or patterns. Be creative to personalise your flower.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Step 3: Cut the Spiral<\/strong><\/p><ul><li data-start=\"507\" data-end=\"646\">Carefully cut along the thick spiral line. Follow the curve smoothly and take your time for clean, even edges.<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Step 4: Cut Out the Leaves<\/strong><\/p><ul><li data-start=\"648\" data-end=\"779\">Cut out 1\u20132 leaves along the printed outlines. You can colour them beforehand or leave them plain.<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Step 5: Begin Rolling the Flower<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Begin rolling at the outside end of the spiral. Roll slowly and evenly to keep the petals uniform.<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Step 6: Roll Towards the Centre<\/strong><\/p><ul><li data-start=\"911\" data-end=\"1112\">Continue rolling until you reach the centre circle. Keep the base tight for stability, and allow the top edges to stay slightly loose for a natural, blooming look.<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Step 7: Secure the Base<\/strong><\/p><ul><li data-start=\"1114\" data-end=\"1279\">Apply a small dot of glue on the centre circle and press the rolled flower into place. Hold for a few seconds until it sticks securely.<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Step 8: Adjust the Petals<\/strong><\/p><ul><li data-start=\"1281\" data-end=\"1438\">Gently release the outer layers and fan out the petals. Curl the edges with your fingers if you want a more realistic effect.<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Step 9: Prepare the Stem<\/strong><\/p><ul><li data-start=\"1440\" data-end=\"1583\">Attach a straw or pipe cleaner to the back of the flower using tape or glue. Make sure it\u2019s straight and secure.<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Step 10: Stick the leaves<\/strong><\/p><ul><li data-start=\"1585\" data-end=\"1703\">Glue your leaves along the stem.
