So, you will need: - old magazines; - scissors; - wooden sticks; - electrical tape in a roll of white and green colors (can be replaced with medical plaster).Let's start making the magazine flower.Take a magazine sheet and fold it as in the picture. First in half along the longest side of the magazine sheet, then in half again lengthwise and again. As a result, you will get a long and narrow strip of folded magazine sheet. The width of the strip should be 5-7 centimeters.Now let's take the scissors and make cuts on one sidesides, so that a gap of 2-2.5 cm remains uncut. Try to make cuts more often, so your flower will be fluffier and there will be many petals. It will be great if you have special scissors with which you can make several cuts at once. But if you don’t have any, you will have to work hard and spend a little more time.So, the flower blank is ready.Now take a wooden stick, which will serve as a stem for the flower and start winding the cut magazine strip onto it. You will see in the process of winding how your flower blossoms and becomes similar to an aster, only from a magazine sheet.Secure everything with white electrical tape,but can be replaced with a medical plaster. Now carefully wrap the wooden stick with green or white tape, but then it will need to be painted green. The magazine leaf aster is ready! It will perfectly decorate any coffee table. And a whole bouquet of such magazine flowers will look original and unusual!
