Procedure

Step 1: Making A Slanting Cut

For beginning this craft, take a rectangular piece of green-colored crepe paper and scissors. Using the scissors, make a slanting cut along the shorter side of the rectangle.

Step 2: Making A Straight Cut

Now, make a straight cut to the end of the slanting cut to cut out a right-angled triangle shape.

Step 3: Applying Glue To The Triangle

Apply Glue evenly to the whole triangle.

Step 4: Pasting A Cotton Bud

Cut out a cotton bud from the whole stick using scissors. Paste the cotton bud over the end of the right angle of the triangle.

Step 5: Rolling Over The Triangle

Now, from the side where the bud was pasted, start to roll over the triangle tightly.

Step 6: Twisting The Ends Of The Roll

Tightly twist the ends of the roll to make them look like a needle from the ends. This makes a kernel of your whole common wheat.

Step 7: Making More Kernels

Following the same steps that are mentioned above, make more and more kernels.

Step 8: Rolling A Bunch Of Kernel In The Tape

Now, take 4-5 kernels, hold them together, and from their short needles end roll them together with a floral tape.

Step 9: Placing More Kernels

In the second round of the tape, one by one start placing kernels to make different layers of it and forming a whole common wheat.

Step 10: Completing Making The Common Wheat

Continuously make rounds of the tape to reach a suitable length of the common wheat and as the end reaches, roll over the tape at one place over and over to secure the end. As the kernels are secured, start to roll over the tape again to form a stick beneath them. Tightly twists the end of it to make it stiff.

Step 11: Cutting Out A Crepe Paper Strip

Using scissors, cut out a thick long green crepe paper strip.

Step 12: Shaping The Leaf

Make 2 slanting cuts at the end of the strip to shape the leaf.

Step 13: Attaching Leaves To The Wheat Stem
