🖌 Step 1: Prepare the Base

📌 Take a piece of cardboard and cut it into a rectangular shape (or any shape you prefer). This will be the base for your wall decor.

📌 Follow These Steps:

🌸 Step 3: Create Another Flower

For variation, let’s make a different style of flower! 🌿✨

📌 Steps to Follow:

1️⃣ Take one pistachio shell and apply a small amount of glue to its edge.
2️⃣ Attach another pistachio shell to it, slightly overlapping.
3️⃣ Continue adding more shells in a circular pattern until you form a full flower.

📜 Step 4: Make Paper Tubes

📌 Steps to Follow:

1️⃣ Apply a small amount of glue at one end of the paper tube.
2️⃣ Start wrapping jute thread tightly around the tube.
3️⃣ Keep wrapping until the entire tube is covered.
