Items Needed:
- Construction Paper. One sheet from each color of the rainbow and one sheet of white.
- Scissors.
- Pen or Marker.
- Glue Stick.
- Something to trace that makes a circle. (cup, bowl, stencil)
- Trace and cut out 6 circles from your construction paper. One circle for each color of the rainbow. (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple). If you’re not making a rainbow flower, just cut 6 circles from any color you like. You will need 6 circles to make your paper flower. To speed up the process, try stacking a few sheets together and cut them at once.
- Take and fold each circle in half and crease well. They will look like little tacos.
- Place some glue on side of your folded circle (aka taco). Then place the half circle onto a piece of paper. Next, take the opposite color, from the color wheel, and place it across from your first pedal. Be sure that the open sides of your half circles are pointing away from each other.
- So red across from green, blue across from orange, and yellow across from purple. This will help you space out your pedals. Fill in with the rest of the colors in ‘rainbow order’. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and you’re done!
- You can add a stem with a green marker to add a fun touch. Try making these paper flowers in all different sizes! To easily create the smaller flowers, I used a 1″ hole punch.
