Step 1
I placed a round bowl on a waste carton and used it to draw a big circle. I then brought another bowl smaller than the first one which I used to draw a smaller circle inside the big one. I then used my cutter to cut the circle out as shown

Step 2
I draw the shape of a leaf on a carton and then use my cutter to cut it out. After this, I made duplicates of the shape. Finally, here, I peeled one side of the shape as shown below.

Step 3
I draw a small circle using the cover of a container and cut it out. I also duplicate the circle as shown below.

Step 4
I formed a flower out of the shapes in steps 2 and 3 above. Five of the shapes in step 2 are arranged needly and the circle in step 3 is used to gum it with the help of evostik gum. I formed three of these flowers.

Step 10
I formed three circles using a carton, evostik gum and red thread. I cut a small circle, rubbed gum on it and then covered it up with the red thread. I made three of these circles as shown below

Step 11
Finally, I gummed these circles on my home decoration and then gummed another thrade at the back of the home decoration for hanging.
