This Instructional video it's all about taking a small project and bringing it up to scale.

You can find many tutorials on how to make a paper flower. But once you make it bigger the paper will become unstable.

I used some Yoga mats that are thicker and a little more rigid.

This is only one example of flower, but using the same materials and changing the color scheme, you can make various types of flowers.

You will need:

- template for 3 different petal sizes (optional: you can have only one size depending on the model)

- scissors (I used a laser cutter but you can get away with scissors or a cutter)

- hot glue gun

- paint (2 or 3 colors depending on the model)

- yoga mats (I used 3 mats 180cm x 50 cm for one flower)

Most of all you will need lots and lots of patience.

Have fun!!!

You should have all the necessary information in the video.
