With white muffin cases you can make pretty marguerites. With different single coloured and colourful muffin liners you will get a happy multi-coloured bunch of flowers.
Smooth out and flatten the muffin liners, then fold into halves, fold again into quarters, fold again to eighths and finally fold again to the sixteenth part.
Now cut the outer corners to a round shape, like the petals of daisies (see picture). Unfold and – voilà you receive sweetly shaped paper flowers. Take the middle and form the flower, slightly twist at the tip, tear apart the petals. These paper flowers are super easy and quic to make. The perfect decoration craft to make with children.
For single flowers use the coloured paper outside.
When you are going to create a whole bouquet of flowers use the coloured paper of the muffin cases on the inside. Attach the flowers at the tip to a wooden stick, e.g. with yarn or wire, or stick into a straw, arrange several flowers into a bunch.
