Step 1 Flatten the paper gardening twineTake one end of the paper gardening twine. Unravel the end and flatten out the twine. It will have permanent creases and look crumpled. Continue to flatten it for about 10cm.

Step 2 Make a leaf

Trim the flattened end into the shape of a leaf. Keep the other end twisted. You now have a leaf with a stem.

Step 3Make a paper flowerTo make a flower, start with the centre by flattening out a piece about 5-10cm long. Fold it over to form a knob. To make the petals, flatten out a longer length, about 45cm - 60cm. Loop into folds like a bow to form a group of petals. An odd number of petals works best. Arrange it around the centre knob. Tie string or fine wire around the base to secure the centre and 'petals'. Bend and fold the petals into shape. Assemble the flowers and leaves together to form a posy, or use as individual decorations.
