Cut a strip of tissue paper. Spread some glue on a paper plate. Open petals partially and dip one cut edge of each petal into your glue. Press the glued edge of each petal onto the cut piece of tissue paper. Space them out at least ½” apart on the tissue paper strip. Let dry.

Cut between each petal so you have 5 separate pieces. With the cardboard side up, trim excess tissue paper off each flower petal.
