    What kind of paper should I use, thick or thin?

    Thin is a lot easier to fold, but if you want to use thick paper you can. Origami paper is the best, though.

    Fold a green piece of paper into a tube. Glue the paper so it stays as a tube. Glue the stem to the flower.
  • Question
    Should I use more glue if it keeps falling apart?
    Community Answer
    You could, but instead, I would recommend trying to clip it together with paper clips for more stability.
  • Question
    Why does mine break?
    Community Answer
    Maybe because it's too small, so the glue won't stick. But if it's big enough, it's might be because the glue is too much on the edge. Or because it didn't have enough time to dry. If it still doesn't work, try taping it or using better glue.
