Step by Step Instructions:

Step 1:

First, download the PDF templates and print them out. Cut out the petal pattern and use colorful craft papers to cut out 10 petals for each flower.

Step 2:

Fold the two sides of a petal diagonally as shown below.

Step 3:

Similarly, make 4 more petals, for a total of 5 petals.

Step 4:

Now, take the remaining five petals. Make a vertical slit in the middle of the petal.

Step 5:

Apply glue on one side of the slit and overlap with the other side to give the petal volume.

Step 6:

Similarly, make the other four petals. Gather all the petals together.

Step 7:

Take a green strip of craft paper.

Step 8:

Cut out a round piece of cardboard or cardstock paper.

Step 9:

Glue five of the flat petals around the round cardboard piece.

Step 10:

Then, glue the other five petals over the first ones around the cardboard piece.

Step 11:

Take a long strip of yellow craft paper.

Step 12:

Fold it in four, and make vertical cuts on it.

Step 13:

Roll the paper strip and glue it to secure the roll so it looks as below. This will represent the middle of the lily flower.

Step 14:

Glue the yellow paper piece inside the middle part of the flower.

Step 15:

Cut out the lily pad from green craft paper.

Step 16:

Fold it in half.

Step 17:

Make diagonal accordion folds on the lilypad.

Step 18:

Open the fold.

Step 19:

Glue the flower on the lily pad.

You can make your lilies in a variety of different colors; I just went for red and pink but as we all know this flower variety comes in a vast number of color shades!
