But if you want to have the freestanding stems , you'll have to get the PV C pipes .

I'm using three quarter inch and heat up any type of sand .

I'm using a pan and ladle that I won't be using for food .

You could also find some cheaper ones drifted .

You could designate for just heating up sand .

It should be heated for a few minutes enough to be hot to touch in the center of the pile of sand , duct tape , one side of the PV C pipe and take a funnel and start scooping in the sand to the PV C pipe .

Once you fill most of the pipe , which should be about the pan full of sand , duct tape , the other end and the pipe should be flexible to shape .

I like shaping with the chairs using my tile floors to cool it off .

So it can mold into the shape that I like .

It should take a few minutes for it to cool off and stiffen back up .

Then you could take the sand out and reheat and make other stems for the base .

I use quick dry smoothing concrete .

You will have to be very careful .

This concrete could burn your skin .

So make sure you are wearing , protecting gloves , safety goggles and a mask then mix in a little bit of water .

You'll need to mix in water and concrete until you get a pancake consistency .

Then I use a plastic plant saucer as my mold .

You could use duct tape to help hold your pipe up .

You could also use another coupler on the bottom if you want it to be fully detachable from the stem to the flower .

So that it is easier to transport or you could directly attach the stem PV C pipe into the concrete .

If you want to add leaves on the stem , you'll need to tape down some floral wire with masking tape .

Then I mod podge the stem , adding green tissue paper .

This helps add texture onto the pipe and make the floral wire for the leaves less noticeable .

This will also help with the color of the stem .

You could paint another coat of acrylic paint on top to get the stem color you like once the mod podge dries , then you could add your giant poppy flower head to the top .

I'll be having more giant paper flower tutorials coming soon .

Thank you for watching .

So this time you fold it over here the open bit and you cut along here .

It's not an exact science .

And like I said , here's the flap .

And again on that side , try and get them even if you can .

So you've opened .

This is the open side on this one .

Here's the open side .

You flip it to the open here and you cut on the shut side .

OK , so they're opposites .

And it's important that you do cut on the right side to kind of get that contrasting look that will look like this and that will look like this .

Fold it in half , Give it a good crease in both directions I've been crafting today , so I have lots of pin marks and do the same here and in both directions .

Really good important to have that as a nice , strong crease .

Ok , now here's the slightly tricky bit you now need to pop them over each other so and to make them fit .

I always find this a bit .

Oh , there we go .

Oh , look , this is not a neat edge .

Let me just trim that a little bit to make it pointier .

OK , so pop them over each other and align those creases .

Those are the creases .

Yeah , you can .

If you have a third one , you just pop that in the middle as well .

So those are my creases .

Good .

So it's all neat .

It's really important to get this fridge teeth .

Now turn it round .

Here's the middle one .

OK , middle one , get my stapler and make a staple .

So come back right at the top .

Do it at the top , Not the bottom , because otherwise it won't be able to open up at the top just to keep it all secure .

And now carefully fold these out .

This is where the magic happens .

Look at that .

Isn't that cute already ?

Just make sure that crease here is is neat .

And then you need to staple it again now because I've got the red on the inside as well .

The darker red .

I'm gonna try and get my staple quite high up .

Just to catch some of that dark red paper as well .

Just helps secure it a bit , maybe a bit too high , but it doesn't matter .

And now you carefully like magic .

The flower here is so pretty , isn't it ?

Bringing those sides together .

Look at that .

That lovely and again stay fit in place .

Maybe I'll get a bit low on this one .

There we go .

That's your basic flour finish .

Isn't that adorable ?

Look at that .

And now , just to kind of give it that to set your look .

If you're making a Poncet , of course , you can do this as any flower .

I'm just gonna cut out some little circles .

I have some scrap paper and blue that is gone .

It's pretty thick or a bit of blue .

Doesn't need much because he's our own name at all .

Here we go , your paper flower when set .

Here , let's finish the Are are they lovely ?

I think they're really stunning .

And I think especially if you make them in red , they make a beautiful winter decoration , and it will make your home look really , really nice .

And here's like a white home set here , and I think they fantastic .

Now I hope you like these paper flowers .

Um , as always , keep watching .

Keep creating .

Um , you know , we'd love to see you again soon , And I hope you have a really lovely crafty season .

Take care .
