DIY Paper Flower

Hello welcome to another episode of Journey to Haven.

My name is Elektra🦋. Today, I’m sharing with you

how to make a huge paper flower.



I was assigned to make 6 big flowers for our props on

Sports Day.


Here is my sample for today's tutorial:

        So let’s get started!


        First, here are the materials we need:



  1. Template or Pattern of Flower (download, print, and cut the template).

  2. Hot glue sticks and glue gun

  3. Glue or paste

  4. White cardboard paper for templates and a pencil

  5. Scissors

  6. Medium size paper plate (for the base)

  7. Any colored papers that you like


P R O C E D U R E

1. The first thing to do is to create the patterns so cut the patterns into sizes that are applicable
to your needs.

2. Get the cardboard and trace the paper template onto it.
Cut through the lines (set aside)

3. The same with the paper flower template cut them
along the lines. I just did 4 sizes of petals.
Size 1 - 4 pcs, Size 2 - 5 pcs, Size 3 - 6 pcs and
size 4 - 7 or 8 pcs. 

4. You’ll need an 8-diameter circle of cardboard
or paper plate put the cutout petals individually,
and start with the biggest petals.
Use hot glue to stick them together in each row.
The smallest petals will be the last.

5. Finally, when you’re done with all the petals, next is the pistil. Grab the orange or if you have a yellow paper, it’s better. Fold the paper and cut it like what you see in the video. After that roll and stick it to the center of the flower You have a beautiful paper flower!

JEATH War Museum

I’d like to share with you our visit to the JEATH War Museum in Kanchanaburi, last Sunday, We went on a group tour with friends and acquaintances. It took us 3 1/2 hours to travel by van. It was my first time to visit there. Someone advised me to watch the movie about "The Railway Man", which is a true-to-life story of one of the prisoners of  WWII in Kanchanaburi. It's very horrific and I could feel the gravity of suffering inside the museum.

    

The acronym JEATH stands for Japanese, English, Australian, American, Thai, and Holland, the primary nationalities involved in the construction of the Death Railway (also known as the Thai-Burma Railway) which was built in 1942

It was just after the Japanese invasion that the war museum was founded (1977) by Chaichumpol Temple’s chief abbot. It is located just near the temple grounds.  The Thai name is Phíphítháphan Songkhram Wát Tâi (Wat Tai War Museum) also known as the JEATH War Museum located in Mueang Kanchanaburi District.


JEATH War Museum is indeed a heart-breaking memorial for the people who were part of World War 2. Kanchanaburi is the only place in Thailand where prisoners of  WW2 had taken place. So 
if you're already in Kanchanaburi, you must try to visit here.
