Starched Paper Flowers

The paper flowers we are about to learn about can be made by people of any age group, starting with a preschooler. And with items available at home mostly, its easy to fill the blank walls in an innovative way.
We need, cupcake liners or paper coffee filters, or even few not-so-thick ordinary white papers,
Pair of scissors,
Starch spray,
A steel or plastic cup as mould,
Acrylic colors and paint brush,
Small sheet of cardboard,
Strong glue and double sided tape.
First, we have to cut the paper in desired shapes, then start painting them in desired colors and designs ( one idea is to dilute the color more so that it spreads and the flower looks filled ). Then place the painted flowers upside down on an inverted steel or plastic cup ( this makes a flower mould ). After you place the flower on the cup, spray starch ( if you dont have spray, sprinkle dissolved starch generously ) on the flower. Let it dry completely. You can gently peel the flower off the cup so that the flower shape stays intact.
Get all the flowers ready, glue the bottom of each flower to a small piece of cardboard. Then stick a small piece of double sided tape to each cardboard piece, so that they can be stuck to the wall or any other medium. These flowers can be made easily by preschoolers too. And tell me if people dont ask you or get surprised if your child has made one!!
