4. Cut out multiple leaves from the crepe paper, cutting along the outline.
5. Cut out small squares from the tissue paper in different colors.

Isn’t this absolutely gorgeous? And if you’d like to try flowers in something other than a vase, try making these quilled flowers in a basket, or flowers in a watering can. And if you’d really like to impress Mom, go ahead and try making her a lovely Mother’s Day gift that she can actually use!
