Pipe cleaner flower pin craft

What you will need:  Two pipe cleaners, (chenille stems) one green for the stem and other any color you prefer, glue, and a pin back

To Make:

1. To make the stem and leaves make a loop at one end of the pipe cleaner and attach it by winding the end of the pipe cleaner around the pipe cleaner about 3 inches from the end.

2. Make another loop about the same size and wind it around the stem at the same place you did the first one. The rest of the pipe cleaner forms the stem.

3. Now attach the end of the second pipe cleaner to the top of the flower stem by winding the ends around each other.

4. Bend the second pipe cleaner around in a circle about 1 1/2" wide starting at the end attached to the stem. Make  another loop by bringing the free end of the pipe cleaner up behind the first loop and making a second loop. Make another loop the same way. To finish bend the end in towards the center of the flower.Glue a pin back onto the green stem of the flower.


 

Paper Towel Flower CraftPaper Towel Flower Craft for Kids

These flowers are easy to make and inexpensive. They can be used to decorate for any holiday. Preschool children will even enjoy painting them with eye droppers.

What you will need: Thick, heavy duty, white, square paper towels, glue, pretty buttons, gems or pompoms, and water color paints.

What to do:

1. Make sure your paper towel is square. Find the center of the paper towel by folding the paper towel in half and then in half the other way.  Unfold the paper towel.  The lines meet in the center.

2. Fold each corner in towards the center to form a new square. (See picture to the right.)

3.Then fold each new corner in towards the center again. (See picture to the right.)

4. Turn the folded paper towel over and fold the corners in towards the center again. Glue down the four points at the center. Place a button or something decorative in the center and glue it down.

5. To form the flower petals use your thumb to press in on one of the corners while reaching around to the back and pulling up and out on the pointed flap.  Do this to all four corners. (See picture to the right.)

6. Then pull the four remaining corners on the back to form four more petals. (See picture to the right.)

7. Paint with water colors or eye droppers. (See picture to the right.)

Paper Flowers

What you will need: colored paper, patterned paper such as origami paper, scrapbooking paper, and/or wrapping paper, paper glue such as Elmer's Rubber Cement, and buttons, sequins, pompoms, and other decorative items.

What to do:

1. Print out the directions to make the six-petal fowers and the eight-petal flowers.

2. Study the shapes and arrangements of the petals of different kinds of flowers and try to cut the petals from paper to match the flowers you have observed.

3. Cut paper into different sized squares from 3" x 3" to 9" x 9". Fold the paper and cut according to the directions. Overlap different shapes and sizes of flowers you have cut to make more complex fowers. Experiment with different color combinations.

4. When you are satisfied with your design, glue everything together using paper glue.

5. Emblish the flowers with button, sequins, glitter glue, etc.
