Carefully straighten out all the tiers of the craft. As a result, you get 4 parts, each of them has 4 petals.
Place the resulting blanks one on top of the other, shifting them slightly relative to each other.
The core of the poinsettia should be made from a yellow napkin. To do this, use scissors to cut out a small square. In its central part, place a small pellet formed from the same source material.

Straighten the finished bud and leaves.

To make a rose from commercially available round lace blanks, follow these steps:

On each circle make a small cut and form an aesthetically beautiful bud.
The lower segment needs to be twisted thoroughly in order to continue making the stem from another paper piece.

Royal Rose

Few people know how to make flowers from napkins.

For example, to design a royal rose, you need to follow these steps:

Take one thin pink napkin and cut it into 4 equal parts.
One of the blanks should be folded in half and rolled into a cylinder (not tightly) along the short edge.
On one side, tighten the figure with a thread; this will be the flower core.
The remaining squares need to be cut diagonally. In the resulting triangle, you need to bend the right angle. The remaining ends should be loosely wrapped around the core, while fixing the formed petal with a thread. Their number can be arbitrary, this is determined during the work process.
If you are making a stem, it is better to take a thick copper wire and wrap it with a paper strip of the desired shade. It is advisable to attach a paper leaf during wrapping.

To form a blooming royal rose, you need to follow these instructions:

Cut the paper blank along the folds into 4 square shapes.
Wrap each part around a pencil approximately to the middle.
Squeeze the created tube towards the center and pull out the pencil.

Carefully separate all the petals and then fold them again.
Place all the cut out pieces one by one in assembled form towards the center, as if forming a lush peony inflorescence.
After folding, carefully straighten the petals and secure them with a stapler so that they do not fall apart.

How to make a volumetric number from napkins

For a children's party, you can make a number from cellulose material as decoration.

Step-by-step master class on decorating a craft:
