How To Create a Honeycomb
Before Eid ul fitar 2019, I composed a blog post with all my previous handmade greeting cards as collection. I also wanted to make a handmade card but because of Ramadan schedule I didn’t. The other day I was watching a video on 5 minutes crafts & there I followed one of their tutorial. By following the tutorial of making a honeycomb paper ball, I decided to make a popup card. Check my crafty blunder, you should also have a look at the making of this below.

First of all, I cut two sheets of card paper as base of the honeycomb popup flower. Then I fold crepe paper sheet & cut it into a half circle. Look at the image for better understanding please.
I watched this tutorial of honeycomb ball making but alter it wrong & made blunders. You can follow this video for perfect result of your craft.

After cutting the crepe paper sheet, there I had so many half circles of paper. I started pasting them together as directed in the video. But when I opened the layers after pasting between the card sheet. This is what I found :p

Well, here are the vivid mistakes I made which leads to all this blunder.
How To Create a Honeycomb & How to avoid Craft Fail:
1- Do not cut the circle shape first, place together all layers and paste them in order then cut it at once in circle or any other shape you want.
2- Do not use water based glue, I used a water based glue and that’s why all layers messed up together. Crepe paper or tissue paper is a very thin material already.
These were the only two major mistakes which I should be avoiding but I had no idea. On the other hand, it’s making was fun! You can try this and decorate your space or any paper crafts. I will give it another try soon and then You will see my final version. Also, if you have tried it already and want to suggest me something, you are welcome.
