Take each paper and wrap it just like a cone, leaving it open on top and closed at the bottom. Using your hot glue gun, place a little glue under the seam so it stays closed.To place it onto the cardboard, pinch the bottom of your cone flat and hot glue it onto the line that you drew on the cardboard. Leave about a finger width space in between each cone.Then when you get to the second row, place the cones in between the spaces creating a layering effect.Do this all the way until you get into the middle of your flower.On my flower, I did two rows of white, 4 rows of yellow and filled the rest with the grey paper. Finish it off by hot gluing a ribbon to the back for hanging.
