Torsion technique
How to properly wind the tape on the needle, toothpick or special tool? For this you need:

We start the master class by drawing a sketch.
On thick cardboard of the chosen color, simplepencil draw the outlines of flowers or any selected object. Then cut out the paper elements of the appropriate size and glue to the contours of the picture. It turns out a flat appliqué, but you can make a bulk postcard.

From these elements, you can create flowers, as shown in the photo.
