Diy flower rosette Numbers for birthdays

As my daughter is turning 5 , I am fully in the decoration mood.... I want to make a huge 5 symbol to match the yellow theme we are following. The yellow crepe paper I had was too light.Plain yellow would look normal so I used yellow and red rosettes made from crepe paper to make it look more rich.

I just love the way it has turned out. Here is how I did it

Step 1 : I cut a huge 5 in a thermacol/ styrofoam sheet that's 10 mm thick.

Step 2 : since the edges were rough I covered them by sticking with crepe paper ribbons on all the sides.

Step 3 : I then made the crepe rosettes. It is very simple. Take a crepe ribbon about 15 cm in length. 

Start crumpling from one side to look like fan folds

Now stick the edges with glue.

Now you have a loop. Just flatten it by bringing one edge to the center.

Pinch a little in the center and pick the rosette. Apply glue on the back side and stick it to the the number 5 we did earlier.

Now u leave it like this or you can secure with a push pin as I did for more dimension.

Start filling the flowers alternately red and yellow.

And stick on the wall or hang it on the door.
