DIY handmade paper astra
Stripes of A4 sheet, 5-6 cm wide, are cut from double-sided paper of different colors for the printer. One edge of it is cut into thin strips or simple scissors, or specially designed for this purpose. They have several blades, so the cutting process is much faster and more accurate.
Do-it-yourself notches for making paper asters from paper are not completely made. A small strip of about 1 cm is left to curl paper into a skein. For convenience, use some kind of rod, for example, a piece of wire or a toothpick. In order for the skein to not turn around, its edge is glued to the PVA to the last turn. You can use a piece of double-sided tape, as in the photo above. At the end of the work, the petals of the aster from paper made with their own hands are bent in different directions. It turns out a spectacular flower that you can simply stick on cardboard and make a birthday card by adding a couple of leaflets around it. If you want to put the bouquet in a vase, instead of a toothpick, immediately take a long wire that will act as a stem.
