PRETTY PETALS | Gujarati

With two throw away paper cups you can make these pretty petals. You will also need some copper wire, scissors, needle and a piece of rubber. For this you cut the cup first along its height and then cut the base. The base should be 0.5-cm high. Mark the lines which are off center on two bases and cut them. This will give you four semi circles. Arrange them so that the smallest is on the top and the biggest below. Mark and cut two petals on each semicircle. On cutting off the green portion you will get two petals on each semicircle. Make a hole in the base of each with a long needle. Then weave a flexi-wire through the holes. Bend the wire at the top to anchor the top petal. Apply glue to keep the others in place. Finally mount them on a base of rubber and then admire this true ART from TRASH.
