Directions
- Cut a 3″ x 3″ square piece of paper.
- Trace a spiral on the inside of the square, about 1/4″ between the circles of the spiral. If you would like to write a message, add one to the inside of the spirals!
- Cut the spiral out.
- Begin rolling the spiral in on itself, starting from the outside. Roll until there is no more paper left. Affix with a small dot of glue if needed.
- Add to real branches from leftover plants to create your own bouquet!
