Pipe-Cleaner Flowers: Your First Bouquet
Pipe-cleaner flowers are one of the easiest ways to start crafting. You need very few materials and the results look great even on your first try.
What You Need
- Pipe cleaners (chenille stems) in flower and green colours
- Scissors
- Green floral tape or green pipe cleaners for stems
- A small vase or wrapping paper
Making a Simple Tulip
Fold a pipe cleaner into a loop to form the petal, twist the ends together, and repeat to make a small cluster. Attach it to a green stem and bend the petals gently outward to shape the flower.
Putting the Bouquet Together
Make 5 to 7 flowers, mix the colours, and tie the stems together. Wrap the bouquet in paper or place it in a vase.
Once you are comfortable, try different flower shapes and colour combinations to make the bouquet your own.
