Cats and flowers don't mix. Not only are they (especially Wedge)
allergic to most flowers, but they also seem to be insanely attracted
to munching on them. As a result I decided to make a non-kitty-toxic
bouquet. Below are individual pictures and instructions on how to make them.
The carnation:
Step
1: Using tissue paper,
cut 5-6
circles (about 3
inch circumference).
Tissue paper can
be the same color
or different
colors.
Step
2: Stack the circles, and use
a sharpie or other marker to draw
along the edges of all the circles.
It doesn't matter if the color
does not get on all of the edges,
in fact that creates a cool
effect.
Step
3: Fold circles in
half, and
cut two holes in the center of
the halved
circles.
Step
4: Put an unfolded paper clip
or pipe cleaner through the
two holes, and twist.
Step
5: Work from the inside, and
pull the middle circle together,
and pinch the base. Keep
working out until all circles
are bunched up. Instructions
including pictures
can be found here.
The
rose:
Step
1: Cut a circle out of paper or
tissue paper. Make sure
to cut
the edges
wavy.
Step
2: Cut the circle into a spiral also making the cuts
wavy.
Step
3: From the outside
curl inward. Be careful that it
does not
turn into a
cone.
Step
4: Glue the bottom of
the rose.
Step
5: Slide a paper clip or a pipe
cleaner into the bottom in the center
of the rose. You
can find a step by step video here.
The plain flower:
Step
1: Pick 5 different colors of paper, or if you want use the same color.
Step
2: Cut 1 oval shaped petal out of each color.
Step
3: Put them all together
Step
4: Using a paper clip or pipe cleaner poke two holes in the center. Twist
underneath.
