Pasos a seguir

Cut out pink crepe paper in 6-8 cm stripes and the yellow one in 5 cm stripes to make the center of the flower.

For each flower: cut out the top of the pink stripe shaping it rounded as in the photo.

Make fringes in the yellow stripe.

Unroll the stripes and cut them in pieces of about 40 cm. Crumple the yellow stripe between your fingers.

Make the flower around the yellow heart crumpling the paper and making a slight rotation movement with the fingers so the paper spreads in a regular shape around the center of the flower. Tie the flower with the wire or the cord.
