Normally you will only use paper, pencil, ruler, scissors and glue. Check out tips on how to make paper flowers below.
How to make simple paper flowers
Firstly, to make paper flowers, make a spiral starting from the edge towards the center of a square paper. Then cut out this spiral. Afterwards, just discard the square corners, and then roll the spiral starting from the center, fixing it with white glue afterwards.
Paper flowers with strips
Just cut strips of paper and a circle, glue the ends of each strip. Therefore, simply glue the pieces you obtained by gluing them to the center of the circle.
Layered paper flowers
First of all, to make layered paper flowers, start by making a petal-shaped mold. Repeat the process to make others. After that, cut out its petals, bending them slightly upwards. Then, leave the cut petals overlapping, gluing them right after. To finish, simply glue a button in the center.
Paper calla lily
First, draw a petal with a wide and straight base with a point at the other end on square-shaped paper. Then, cut out the mold, taking it from yellow paper, cut a strip to make the core. Wrap it around the end of a toothpick. Then glue the base of the petal around the tip.

For the purpose of drawing a petal mold in a length of 17 cm, 14 cm, 11 cm and 8 cm respectively. All of them must have a straight base. Then, just cut out the flower templates and use them to draw about six more petals in size. After cutting, very lightly, fold the corners, and cut the base in the middle, gluing the ends together. Then glue the larger petals together until they form a circle. Do the process again, placing the smaller sizes on top of the larger base.

Just place three pieces of paper together and fold them in half. Then cut a shape similar to half of a flower, then open the papers, interspersing the petals. Finish by stapling the papers in the center.
Maxi paper flower
Once you define the number of layers of petals, simply cut thicker strips of crepe paper. By folding them in half and cutting into a round shape, they will also form a petal when opened. The first layer will require a minimum of 9 sheets.
Glue the petals, then filling a circle. As for the core, however, after rolling up a strip of crepe paper two fingers wide and making vertical cuts, so that the scissors reach all the way to the end of the paper. Just unfold it little by little, so that the leaves open. Finally, glue it to the paper flower core.
