Tips: You can use plastic straws if you do not have paper straws but do help save our environment and recycle from used ones instead of buying new ones. After trying both paper and plastic straws, we felt paper straws are a better option as not only it's more environmental friendly, it stays in shape better as compared to plastic straws which can be easily bended.
Pre-cut all the paper straws at the top on 1 end as show in the diagram.
Affix the completed cupcake liner flowers using hot glue gun or UHU glue.
Tips: Personally we would prefer using hot glue gun as it dry faster. However for kids doing this crafty, we would recommend using UHU glue instead which is safer. When using UHU glue, do allow some time for the glue to dry and use binder clips to hold the cupcake liner flowers and the paper straw stem together while awaiting it to dry.
Use a paper straw and roll the leaves.
Finally just overlap with folds for the cupcake liners and adjust each cupcake liners to form a flower.
And you are done!
