Procedure to follow to make the giant flowers
According to the number of flowers you intend to have, you are going to fill the glasses with the cement and let them dry.
After this you will take the resistant thread and cut it depending on the height you want the flowers to have, they can be from 3 to 8 meters.
Take the glasses to have a reference in the mold of the stem.
Once you have the resist mold for the stem, proceed to cover the resist string with paper until everything is completely covered.
For the leaves you are going to cut the wire to the size you want and place them so that you get the body of the leaf.
You want to leave the central wire a little longer so that it can be attached to the stem as soon as you finish all the work.
You will have to cut the tissue paper in the shape of a leaf, attach it with the thread and then place it on the stem so that you simulate the entire lower part of the flower.
Regarding the petals, the design is totally up to you, make them according to the plant you want to illustrate and shape it with your imagination.
Take the tissue paper and cut it into the shape of the flower petal you want, the smaller ones will go in a single bouquet and you have to be careful that the layers are held together with tape. Then you make more petals a little bigger, mold them with the other layer and continue like this until you have the flower of the size you want.
In the center of the flower, you are going to take the paper, cut it into circles, glue two of them in the center and put moss on it with the glue to finish. Ready, you already have your giant flowers made at home.
