Guide to create flowers in paper towel: Dazzling your guests!

Necessary materials

• Paper towels : Choose bright colored towels or with patterns for a more spectacular effect. The towels should be quite resistant but not too thick to facilitate folding.
• Fine or ribbon iron: used to attach and maintain the shape of the flower.
• Scissors (optional): to cut or adjust the edges of the towels if necessary. 

Step 1: Preparation of the towel

• Unfold the towel: make sure the work surface is clean and flat. Unfold the paper towel entirely.
• Fold in half: fold the towel in half lengthwise.
• Fold in accordion: Start folding the towel in accordion, ensuring that each fold is of equal width. This step is crucial to define the basic structure of your flower.

Step 2: Creation of the heart of the flower

• Tighten in the center: once the towel is folded in accordion, tighten it firmly in the middle.
• Attach with the wire or the ribbon: use the wire or the ribbon to attach the folded towel to the center. It will form the heart of your flower.

Step 3: Petal training

• Separate the layers: Gently, start separating the layers of paper one by one, lifting them and forming them to create the flower petals.
• Adjust the shape: work the petals until you get the desired shape, making sure to give each petal a natural and open appearance.

Step 4: finalization of the flower

• Final modeling: Adjust and turn the petals if necessary to perfect the shape of the flower.
• Moistify for a realistic effect (optional): a slight water spray can help give petals a more natural and lively appearance.

Wattle variants in towel

Pink in towel:
For a rose, the secret lies in how to roll the towel around the tight center, adjusting the tension to imitate tight petals of a pink in button.

Towel tulip:
The tulip requires a more structured folding, with fewer separate layers, to create its characteristic and refined shape.

Peony in towel:
A peony requires a more loose and bulky fold, with a lot of gently separate layers to simulate the puffy appearance of this flower.

Creative uses of towel flowers

The possibilities are endless: table decoration for a dinner, elements of a floral arrangement for a wedding, or even as a decorative touch in different rooms of the house. Towel flowers can also be used for craft projects with children, offering a fun and creative activity.
