Steps To Make Flowers Using Plastic Bags 

So get on building a plastic bag flower when you’ve gathered your stuff. If you properly follow the instructions, making a plastic bag flower is an easy task:

Step 1: To begin, cut two 20-cm lengths of fine wire. Fold the tips up and put a strip of tape around every tip to hide the jagged edges.

Cover the ends

Step 2: Cut the heads and bottom of the bags off, forming a rectangular plastic. Trim one lengthy rectangle along with the folded corners, then in half to make two rectangles.

Cut rectangles

Step 3: Make 12 equal strips out of the two rectangles now. Stack the pieces in two heaps of six after they’ve been cut.

Stack up the strips

Step 4: Fold the short end of the pieces into a concertina shape. Then, carefully coil the wire all around folded plastic strands, twisting it three or four times to lock it in position.

Fold the strips

Step 5: Make a bow-like shape by fanning out the layers of plastics. The floral petals are made by pulling the upper surface away from other strips.

Step 6: To finish the flower head, repeat the process on all layers of plastic. Scissors can be used to reshape and polish them.

Step 7: To make a stem for the flower parts, wrap the wire around a stick. To make the second flower, follow steps 6-11. You’re free to produce as many as you’d like now.
