Cutting Leaves for Lily Flower Crafts
Now I'm going to show you how to make a lily. What we'll need is some Fun Foam. I'm going to make you white lilies, we have white Fun Foam- one skewer, a yellow pipe cleaner and little brown for the center, and five white pipe cleaners, a nice thick craft glue that dries clear, and the floral tape. For the lily, you want to cut a nice, long skinny petal, this shape with a point on the top. You can always adjust your cuts later if you want to trim it out. You want to cut like this. You can use that again for a pattern because you want to cut five petals, all the same size. You can also, the Fun Foam is so easy to cut that you can fold it in half and cut two at a time. You can even cut four at a time. Two is probably a little bit easier, four is a little more difficult because as you get thicker it's a little bit hard. But if you're cutting a lot of flowers at once, cutting, folding the Fun Foam and cutting it several at a time makes it go a lot quicker. When you have your five leaves cut out, just like we made the leaves, you want to put a nice, thick bead of craft glue down the center of each petal, and then we'll just lay a pipe cleaner right on that bead of glue from the tip to the end, and leave this end piece hanging. We let that dry overnight, because you want that to dry really well. The pipe cleaner will then help us bend and shape the leaves when we put our flower together.
