Use the compass to draw a 6-inch diameter circle on the cardboard and cut out the circle. On that 6 inch circle that you just cut out, draw a circle inside with a 4-inch diameter. This 4 inch line is where you will glue your petals.
Cut red paper into 4x4-inch squares and yellow paper into 3x3-inch squares.
Roll each square into a cone shape, glue the seam, and flatten the bottom.
Glue red cones around the inner circle of the base, leaving small gaps between each.Continue layering cones until the base is covered, working toward the center.
Use yellow cones for the center, gluing them tightly together to create a dimensional effect.
Paint gold glitter glue on the yellow cones for a festive finishing touch.
