Spring has arrived with all its beauty and we can witness it in colourful flowers and lush green leaves in and around our houses. This is the perfect time to bring either real or artificial plants in your house as they add a touch of freshness and elegance. Therefore, today’s tutorial is about paper hyacinth flowers. In an easy and inexpensive way, we can add some colourful flowers to our houses.

Things you need:

1. Colourful papers (A-4 sized at least three colours)

2. Green paper to make leaves and stem

3. Glue stick

4. Scissors

5. Pencil (optional)

Directions:

1. Cut green paper into strips of at least two-inches width and length of eight-inches to make the stem, pictures 2 and 3.

2. Secure the end with glue, make as much as you want; I made four stems, picture 4.

3. From coloured-papers, cut 2X2-inches size of squares, at least 15, picture 5.

4. Fold these paper squares from corner to make triangle, picture 6.

5. Two-fold this triangle again, picture 7 (this will make four-petal flower).

6. Draw petal shape on it and cut it out, see pictures 8 and 9.

7. Open the flowers and with the help of pencil, curve each petal outwards, pictures 10 and 11.

8. Glue each flower on the green stem, pictures 12 and 13.

9. Cut leaves from the green paper, (two for each stem), pictures 14 and 15.

A beautiful and easy hyacinth flower vase is ready!
