The first thing that you should do is gather all the supplies needed for this activity. Download the printable and don't forget to ready your scissors.
Next, cut the shape out of the paper. It doesn't matter if it's just plain bond paper as this is just a guide for you to create a cutout.
Plate the shape that you cut from the printable on top of a colored paper of your choice and get tour pencil or pen. In this example, a blue glossy paper was chosen. These types of paper look better than regular colored paper.
Now, if you have a glossy type of paper you might want to place the template on the other side because it is easier to draw on that surface. Then trace the shape with a pen or pencil, otherwise just trace on any side.
After you have traced the shape, carefully follow the lines and cut. And you should have a nice windmill like object in front you. Good job!
Place a small trinket inside
Next, place a treat on the center of the plain side of the glossy paper. If it's a simple colored paper then any side would do. You are close to finishing the gift bag!
Fold the petals together to form a gift box
You are going to overlap the petals. Begin by folding one petal to the center.
Then overlap it with the other petal.
Do the same for the third petal. Also, you are now on the third and final stage of the craft.
For the last petal, put it under the first petal and then secure it with some tape or glue.
And congratulations! You have made a flower shaped gift box. See that was easy, wasn't it?
