Instructions:
1. Print out the flower, flower center and leaf templates. Trace each on the appropriate colored corrugated cardstock. You will need one flower, one center and two leaves for the front side. Now trace each pattern again in reverse for the backside. Now you have a total of 2 flowers, 2 centers and 4 leaves.
2. Cut two 2 x 30 cm strips of corrugated cardboard. Turn the first piece over so that the backside is up. Draw a line with the glue down the center length of the first piece. Start wrapping this now tightly and evenly around the other end of the shishkabob stick until the cardboard is used up. Now draw a line of glue around the second piece and repeat this step again. Hold the end of the second piece a couple of minutes until the glue is dry enough.
3. Paint the stick with your marker so that it is green. Glue this to the center of the rolled tube.
4. Now sandwich the stick between the flower and leaf pieces and glue them together with the craft glue.
