CARNATION

① Fold the tissue paper and glue the layers together using spray adhesive.

② Cut according to the template (follow the required number of pieces).

Point

The color nuance changes slightly depending on which side (smooth or textured) is inside.

Choose whichever you prefer.

① For templates 1– 4, use a shaping tool to create natural wrinkles.

② For 5 and 6, use the curved part of the tool to make rough wrinkles.

③ Gently open them and use a curved needle to create wave-like edges.

Point

Avoid making them identical. Slight variations will create a more natural look.

① Layer and glue from template 1 in order.

    •    1– 4 → align directly behind each other

    •    5 onward → shift slightly to the sides

    •    Gradually lower the glue position

② Finally, glue both sides of petals around templates 2–3 together.

Point

Aligning the bottom edges will naturally form a carnation shape.

① Roll a 1.5 cm wide strip of construction paper tightly to make a cylinder (about 1 cm diameter).

② Insert a bamboo skewer from the bottom and raise it about 1.5 cm.

③ Twist white tissue paper to make stamens and attach to the tip.

Point

A green is used so it blends naturally with red petals.

① Glue the bottom of each layered petal piece and let it dry.

② Attach the top part to the tip of the center.

③ Repeat this 6 times.

Point

You can adjust between 5–7 pieces depending on balance.

① Shape green clay into a cup.

Point

Use cornstarch to prevent sticking.

② Add 6 lines using a tool

③ Cut along the lines to create a jagged edge

④Use corn husks to create leaf veins.

⑤Round the bottom

⑥ Insert the bamboo skewer

⑦ Add color
