Abstract: A toy flower maker is made of two flat adjacent plates, a roller disposed through one plate and engaging the second plate, and a slot disposed near the bottom for insertion and retention of a tie for tying the toy flower after it is made. In operation, a flexible paper is placed in between the plates and adjacent the roller; the roller is rotated to transport the paper toward the end of the plates, where the paper engages the tie inserted into the slot. When the sheet is substantially transported past the roller, the tie is secured around the sheet, and the edges of the paper are spread radially outward, forming the toy flower.
