How to make nylon flower dahlia from scratch?

Today I am going to share a tutorial to make dahlia. You can make all kinds of flowers using nylon stocking net.

For making bigger flowers, use bigger petals. For dahlia, you will need a lot of petals.

Since, for making any flower you have to analyze it.

 

 I wish I had a better picture of this beautiful flower.

But things change so much with time. And today I don’t have that flower, to re-shoot.
