Last year I made these pipe cleaner bluebonnets and they were so fun! I love the idea of a wildflower bouquet, but made from simple craft supplies. You don’t need anything to make these except a big pack of pipe cleaners and a pair of scissors. No glue or templates needed!
Make these pipe cleaner flowers to decorate your home for spring. Or craft a bouquet for Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day with pipe cleaner roses and pipe cleaner bluebonnets.
How to make pipe cleaner daisies
Supplies
- 2 white pipe cleaner
- 1 yellow pipe cleaner
- 1 green pipe cleaner
- scissors
Instructions
1. Wrap white pipe cleaner into a spiral.
Start by wrapping one of the white pipe cleaner around your finger 5 times. Be sure to leave a small tail at either end. Slide the spiral off your finger and pinch the center together, using the tails to hold it together.
2. Separate petals and flatten.
Separate each of the 5 loops and spread them out. Pinch each one into a slim petal shape, evenly spaced around the center.
3. Make a second layer.
Repeat the first 2 steps to make a second white flower piece. Wrap the pipe cleaner into a spiral, separate and flatten the 5 petals. Stack the 2 layers together.
4. Create the center.
Take the yellow pipe cleaner and bend one end into a small spiral, just large enough to fit in the center of the white flower petals. Slide the other end through the center of both layers of petals.
Flatten the yellow center against the top layer and press both layers together snugly.
5. Attach the stem.
Flip the petals over and trim the yellow pipe cleaner, leaving a short tail.
Take a green pipe cleaner and cut it in half. Twist the end into a spiral, similarly to the way you did the yellow. Press the yellow end into the green spiral and pinch it to hold.
Repeat the steps to make a few pipe cleaner flowers or a whole bouquet. I made these daisies white, but they naturally come in quite a few different colors. Try making some in pink, yellow, or purple.
This is a simple craft that makes a fun weekend activity for kids or adults. Perfect for spring or summer!
