How to make 4th of July Decorations out of Paper:

1. Start with two colors for your starburst. Cut your papers into squares (size choice is yours, one color slightly smaller than the other). You will need to prepare 8 squares for each color. Take your third color and cut out a spiral shape. We’ll be making spiral rolled rosette with this one.

2. Start with one of your squares. Bring one corner toward the middle of the square, and hold it in place.

3. Now bring the opposite corner to meet it in the middle and overlap the first side slightly.

4. Glue the overlap in place to complete a cone shape.

5. Repeat with the rest of your squares to turn them into paper cones. Cut out a round shape from any color paper.

6. Take the larger set of paper cones and attach them to the round base by gluing down the closed end. Do this at even intervals by starting with one, and placing a second opposite it. Repeat with two more, evenly spaced between your first two on each side.

7. Continue to paste the cones on the round base, evenly placed between the first four, until all 8 cones from your first color are attached.

8. Take your second color of paper cones, and glue them down between the previous cones.

9. Cut out a smaller round shape from the same color of paper you used for the spiral pattern. Attach the round cutout to the center of paper 4th of July decorations. Coil your spiral so that it forms a rosette and glue it shut.. Attach the spiral flower to the center of your starburst.
