DIY Pipe Cleaner Flowers

Elevate your craft sessions with charming these DIY pipe cleaner flowers. An awesome DIY craft for adults and teens!

Materials 

  • 3 x pipe cleaners 12" long for the petals
  • 2 x pipe cleaners 12" long for a stem and leaf

Instructions 

  • Grab all of your petal pipe cleaners and one green one. Bend in half to make “V” shapes.
  • Take the green pipe cleaner and face it downwards.
    Add the petal pipe cleaners and hook them to the green to make an “X” shape.
  • After adding all the petal pipe cleaners to the “X” shape, twist the green one several times.
    The tails should face downward and to the side, respectively.
  • Fan out all of your petal tails so they look like spokes on a wheel.
    Curl each one individually toward the center point of the stem.
  • Continue to roll petals inward toward the center. Adjust as you go, or wait until all petals are created.
  • Repeat until you come to your last petals. Start adjusting to fit the last few into the space.
  • Take the stem tail to the side and wrap it at the base directly behind the flower.
  • As the tail shortens, work it down the stem to help everything stay in place. Give it a pinch at the very end.
  • Reshape or organize petals if you haven’t already done so.
  • Time to make the leaf or leaves–roll them to resemble paper clip size.
  • Before rolling the leaf entirely, leave a tail.
  • Use the tail of the leaf and attach it anywhere on the stem.
    And then you’ll have your adorable pipe cleaner flowers!
