1.Paper Flower Accordions
Paper flowers are bright and enjoyable to create. Follow these procedures to create them in various sizes, shapes, and colors.

Cut 4 pieces of yellow or white paper (depending on daffodil hue) using the first template.
Vertically and horizontally fold the paper in half and open. The bottom should be folded up ¼” and creased.
Turn the paper over and fold it to the top to make an accordion.
Fold the accordion-folded paper in half and tape the central parts together.
Use the remaining 3 papers to repeat steps 2-4.
Create a flower by taping all four together.
Cut a 2″ x 1.5″ orange paper rectangle with little points on one long side.
Roll the rectangle loosely into a tube and attach with a tiny piece of double-sided tape, folding the bottom edge down to flatten.
Your daffodil is complete when you glue the cup you constructed into its center.

2. Organize Window Frames
