Simple, modern art made only of foil and fun.
All you need is aluminum foil and scissors. It's a great way to use old cups and foil that you don't need or was used.

Cutting

First you should cut a piece of foil any size, so you can use any height. I chose a medium sized piece, because if you make a good amount of medium sized flowers, you can make a boquet
Making the Petals

Next, you should cut strips of foil. Keep in mind the size and depth of the petals you want. I chose small, wide petals.
Rolling

Roll the foil so the petals are on the outside. You will want to twist the stem so it looks proportional.
Shaping

You may want to bend the foil so your petals actually look good, unless you accidentally rolled it so it looks good.

You could take an old solo cup, and put a hole in the bottom. The reason for this is you can put a phone or colored light on the bottom to reflect the light off the flower(s)
