How to Make Easy Paper Fringe Flowers from Circles (Kids Craft)
Make fringe flowers from paper circles. A simple craft for kids using scrap paper, scissors, and glue.
What You'll Need
- Scrap paper (colored, construction, magazines, junk mail)
- Scissors
- Glue stick, liquid glue, or tape
- Pencil or pen
- Small circular objects (e.g., jar lid, cup) or circle punch (optional)
Turn paper circles into fringe flowers. Use scrap paper, scissors, and glue. Works for decorations, cards, or gifts.
Step 1: Gather Supplies
Collect scrap paper, scissors, glue, and a pencil. Choose a few different paper colors.
Step 2: Cut Paper Circles
Trace around a circular object (or use a circle punch) onto scrap paper. Cut out one circle per flower. Size can vary.
Step 3: Cut Fringe
Take one circle. Cut small, even strips from the edge toward the center, stopping about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) from the middle. Do not cut through the center.
Step 4: Roll and Secure
Apply glue along one edge of the fringed circle. Roll the circle tightly from the opposite side, keeping the fringed edges facing outward. Press to secure the end.
Step 5: Fluff and Finish
Gently fan out the fringe with your fingers to make the flower look full. Bend the fringe slightly outward if needed.
Tips
Try different paper types like comics, sheet music, or gift wrap for varied textures. Use smaller circles for mini flowers.
