How to Make a Flower Using Newspaper - Handmade Greeting Card for Deepavali

There was a time when we wished our friends, cousins, relatives in the family via posting greeting cards. INDIA POST would deliver our greetings cards to any address we mentioned along with the postal stamp.

Gone are the days. Today, kids hardly know that there exist something called as postal stamp.

To keep the tradition of greeting cards alive, we at home started making our own handmade greeting cards every year during Deepavali.

With the arrival of this grand festival, we bring to you a simple easy greeting card idea to make during the available short time.

All we need is a piece of

stiff chart sheet,

a newspaper,

color paint (in red and gold) of your choice,

shiny golden strips

and supplied such as scissors, stapler, crayons, pens, etc.

How to make a flower using newspaper pieces?

Make several circles on the newspaper using an adult sized bangle. Each circle will turn out to be one layer of petal in the flower.

Bigger the circle, more layers of petals you will need. So, choose the size of your circle and the number of petals you might need to fill up in the flower.

Paint all the circles in bright red. You will need about 15 (approximate number). Cut them all carefully.
