Step-by-Step Instructions

Part 1: Cutting the Foam Pieces

   • Use a ruler to measure four rectangles of 5 cm x 2 cm from your chosen EVA Foam colors.
   • You can mix and match colors for variety.
2. Prepare the Petal Strips
   • Cut these four rectangles into strips of equal size if they are not already pre-cut to 5 cm x 2 cm.

Part 2: Making the Petals

1. Create the First Petal Shape
   • Hold two strips of foam in contrasting colors.
   • Place one strip on top of the other so the bottom forms a semicircle.
2. Fold the Foam Pieces
   • Fold the top strip backwards away from yourself and lay it down.
   • Then lay the right edge of that strip on top and gently pull/stretch the strip on the left side.
3. Shape the Petal Base
   • Turn the folded foam towards yourself, shaping the edges to align.
   • Trim the long edge slightly (about 3-4 mm) for a clean finish.
4. Finalize the Petal
   • Fold the bottom of the petal in half and fasten it securely (use glue to fix the folds).
   • Repeat this process to create a total of seven petals for one flower.

3. Decorate the Flower Center
   • Use two extra foam strips to create a decorative center for the flower.
   • Secure these strips into the middle with glue.
