Equipment

  • Wire cutters (optional) I use wire cutters for snipping the little wire in the pipe cleaners. But you can usescissors if you want.
  • Hot glue gun (optional) Use hot glue on flower centers or decorations.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Choose one pipe cleaner for your flower petals. Twist the pipe cleaner around a pen and then twist the ends together. Pinch the loops together and slide it off the pen.
  • Thread a green pipe cleaner through the center of the loops of the 1st pipe cleaner. Bend it in half and twist tightly right below the loops. Pull the green pipe cleaner stem down and the loops upwards.
  • Pull the loops apart to make a flower. Twist, pinch, and bend the loops to look like petals. I made mine into ovals.
  • Cut a yellow pipe cleaner into thirds (or color of choice). Twist up one end of the pipe cleaner into a twirl to a size you like for the center of your flower. Bend the rest of the pipe cleaner downwards and stick it through the center of the flower petals. Twist the straight end around under the flower petals and around the stem (this will be underneath the flower). Trim off any extra withwire clippers or a scissors.
  • Twist the two halves of the green stem together for about ½-1 inch. Loop one stem to look like a leaf shape. Twist the two stems together a couple of times. Make the other stem into a leaf shape. Twist the rest of the two stem pipe cleaners together.
