That’s why flowers are so pretty - they want to attract pollinators! The most famous pollinator is the honeybee. It blows pollen to other plants far, far away. Wind acts as a pollinator for many plants, such as trees and plants. In order for a new seed to form pollen from the stamen (located in the middle) of one flower must be carried to the pistol (also in the middle) of another flower. If you’ve ever sniffed a flower and sneezed, you probably got some pollen in your nose. Flowers reproduce through a process called pollination. There’s a whole lot that goes on before flowers make a seed. Repeat until all of the flowers are in the container.įill in the gaps with feathers to act as leaves or filler until you can no longer see the foam.Have you ever wondered where flowers come from? All flowers come from seeds of other flowers. Then stick the other end of the straw or stick into the foam in the container. Or put a drop of glue in the tip of a straw and press your flower tip inside the straw. Push your stick through the tip of the flower. Make sure it’s snug, so the flowers don’t flop over. Put the green flower foam in the container. Make as many flowers as you need for your container. See how the pattern we created looks like a star inside the lily? Notice how that pattern pokes through the gap in the petals, making it look like the gap is meant to be there? Steps Part 4 Curl it tight because some of the curl will relax out. Take your highlighter or a pen and curl each petal down toward the stim. Let the thin stem part relax as you pull each of the four petals down, so they are sticking out. There is already a crease, so this should be easy.įrom the bottom tip (not the side with the four corners), fold the edges of one side in, so they meet in the middle crease.įold the petal down to form a crease and release. Guide the sides of the paper into the middle (they will want to fold there) and press the paper flat. Pull the bottom corner up to the top corner, letting the paper fan out. Take the edges of one corner and fold them in, so they touch the center crease of the kite shape.įold the top tip to the bottom tip and make a good crease. Take one corner and squash it down as evenly as you can. Start to collapse the paper (let it fold along the creases). Refresh the creases you’ve made if they are no longer crisp. Your pattern should look like a big X.Ĭongrats! Now you have your bonus inside pattern! (7 lines total) Use the hot dog fold creases as a guide to keep these lines within one quarter or one square of the paper. Take a highlighter (these are best because they don’t bleed through like regular markers) and trace a stripe along the corner-to-corner fold you just made.ĭraw three parallel lines on both sides of this line. I’ve discovered a pattern that makes this misalignment look really cool. Make sure the pattern side is inside and the plain side is visible.īonus Pattern: When you’re not great at lining up your fold, the plain paper side will be very visible. Make sure the plain side is inside the fold and the pattern is visible.įold the paper in half side-to-side like a hot dog bun.
