Manufacturing technology of grave-sweeping white flowers

The making process of white flowers for grave sweeping is shared as follows:

1. Materials/tools: scissors, paper, rope.

2. Choose some soft and tough paper. Take more pictures. The more layers of folded flowers, the better 5-6 layers.

3. Then fold it all from one side like a folding fan.

Tie the center line with rope/thread/anything that can be tied, preferably with white thread.

After trimming the edge, you can trim it according to the size of the flower you want. You can also trim some serrated lace to make it more beautiful.

6. After the final pruning, the petals are lifted layer by layer, and the petals on both sides are arranged and tied together to complete a small white flower.
