You will create a bouquet consisting of 5 different types of paper flowers and 2 types of leaves. There will be a total of 15 flowers and 7 leaves. Flowers are made by cutting, folding, and gluing different shapes and colors of flowers together. You will need to supply your own small, sharp pointed scissors for accurate cutting of shapes for this class.
