Take the full straw and cut in to equal pieces. Cut the single piece again in to 2 pieces vertically. Tie all the straw pieces in a thread using small hole needle. Leave thread and stop at the center itself. The 2 ends of the thread are needed for tying at the next step. After collecting required stripes in the thread, we need to tie both ends of the thread. We have to put knots tightly so that it will not unwind. Make small and big sizes flowers by cutting the length accordingly like below. Prepare small and big flowers of your choices in different colors and sizes. Re-arrange them in the pot and arrange them gracefully. Here, I have used the pepsi can and pasted newspaper and applied fabric paint. Here is the final output :).
