Step 3Drawing and Cutting Your Petals
Draw a flower petal onto your cardboard and cut it out. The petal can be any shape or size you want, or you can model yours from the one in the photo. The petal pattern I drew is 1.5" at its widest, and it's about 2" long.
Then using your cardboard as a template, cut out 5 petals (or more if you'd like!). Don't worry if you don't draw or cut well -- it makes the end product more fluid and organic looking. To make the petal more symmetrical, fold the cardboard in half and then draw half of the petal on the folded edge. When you cut it out, you will end up with a symmetrical petal.
