    Step 1
    Create the Paper Daisies
    First, place one square piece of paper 15cm x 15cm (6 x 6 in) on a flat surface with the colored side facing down. Turn the sheet so it looks like a diamond shape and bring the lower corner up to the top corner and fold the paper carefully. Crease well. Use a bone folder or the back of a metal spoon for perfectly sharp folds.

    Now take the right corner and bring it up to the top point, making a triangle. Fold and crease. Repeat with the left corner. Now you should have a smaller diamond shape, as pictured below.

    Open up the flaps so you are back to the previous triangle.

    Fold the right side up so that the lower edge aligns with the creased line, as pictured below. Fold well.

    Repeat the same folding and creasing process on the left side. You should have made the shape as pictured below.

    Now, take the two small triangles that extend over the edges and fold them back, as pictured below. Nice work! You've now created all the fold lines which will guide you through the next steps.

    Open up the paper to the initial triangle.

    This time, fold the two small triangles inwards.

    Fold the lower sides of the triangle upwards.

    Fold the triangles over and upwards again. Now you're ready to glue.

    Using a glue stick, add glue to the flaps.

    Bring together the flaps and create a cone shape. Hold them together with your hands or with a clip until they are firmly glued. You've now created the first petal of your daisy.

    Repeat the above process four times, to create a total of five petals.

    Once the petals are ready, use a hot glue gun to secure them, one by one, to the wooden skewer. All five petals should fit neatly around the skewer, which serves as the stem of the flower.

                                     Handicraft

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 A handicraft, sometimes more precisely expressed as artisanal handicraft or handmade, is any of a wide variety of types of work where useful and decorative objects are made completely by hand or by using only simple tools. It is a traditional main sector of craft, and applies to a wide range of creative and design activities that are related to making things with one's hands and skill, including work with textiles, moldable and rigid materials, paper, plant fibers, etc. Usually the term is applied to traditional techniques of creating items (whether for personal use or as products) that are both practical and aesthetic.
    Collective terms for handicrafts include artisanryhandicraftingcrafting, and handicraftsmanship. The term arts and crafts is also applied, especially in the United States and mostly to hobbyists' and children's output rather than items crafted for daily use, but this distinction is not formal, and the term is easily confused with the Arts and Crafts design movement, which is in fact as practical as it is aesthetic.
    Handicrafting has its roots in the rural crafts—the material-goods necessities—of ancient civilizations, and many specific crafts have been practiced for centuries, while others are modern inventions, or popularizations of crafts which were originally practiced in a limited geographic area.
    Many handicrafters use natural, even entirely indigenous, materials while others may prefer modern, non-traditional materials, and even upcycle industrial materials. The individual artisanship of a handicrafted item is the paramount criterion; those made by mass production or machines are not handicraft goods.
    Seen as developing the skills and creative interests of students, generally and sometimes towards a particular craft or trade, handicrafts are often integrated into educational systems, both informally and formally. Most crafts require the development of skill and the application of patience, but can be learned by virtually anyone.
    Like folk art, handicraft output often has cultural and/or religious significance, and increasingly may have a political message as well, as in craftivism. Many crafts become very popular for brief periods of time (a few months, or a few years), spreading rapidly among the crafting population as everyone emulates the first examples, then their popularity wanes until a later resurgence.
