To make the 4 inches wide flower to decorate a present (as was made for this demonstration )
you will need for the petals:
8 squares of one color 1 ¾ inches wide
8 squares of the same color 1 ½ inches wide
And 8 squares 1 inch wide of another color

Any size can be used just keep in mind that the petals get smaller towards the center.


Hold the square paper with the points at the top, bottom and sides
Bring the side points together to fold it in half.
Unfold

Fold the side points to the center and align the edges to the center crease.
See next picture for result

Result

Flip the paper over to the back side

Roll the top point around the toothpick.

This is the petal.
Repeat steps 2 to 5 for all the squares

Trace a bottle cap or round object 2 times and cut out the 2 circles

Take one of the circles

Bring the top and bottom together as if you were going to fold it in half - but only pinch at the center.
Bring the sides together as if you were going to fold it in half and pinch the center again.
This will mark the center point.

Glue the tip of one of the larger petals to the center point.
The rolled up tip should be facing upwards.

Place the point of a second large petal at the center point and align the side edge with the first petal.
Glue it in place.

Repeat with the remaining 6 largest petals

Glue the next largest petal between 2 petals below it and the point at the center.

Glue the remaining 7 petals

Glue the 3rd row the same way with it centered between the 2 petals below it.

Glue the remaining 7 petals

Glue the second circle to the center and your flower decoration is finished!
