This craft is actually two
projects in one. Kids and their parents will love the bright colors and
the hours of fun they can have making flowers in many different colors
and sizes. The flowerpots can also be completely customized to be
exactly what the child wants.
Tools and Materials
To make one flower you will need eight cupcake liners, a glue gun, a glue stick, a button/jewel and a pipe cleaner/sticks.
Gather Liners
Each flower will use eight
cupcake liners of any size and any color. You could even mix up the
colors for a really unique flower.
First Fold
Fold each of the liners in half.
Second Fold
Fold the liner in half again.
Third Fold
Finally, fold one of the halves back and then fold the other half back so it looks like a zigzag.
Glue Two Liners Together
Take two liners and using a glue
stick, glue the two points together. Hold tightly together for about 30
seconds, then set aside. Glue two more together and hold tightly.
Repeat this step until all of the liners are glued into pairs.
Glue Both Pairs Together
Glue two sets together at the points and hold for about 30 seconds, and repeat on the other side.
Come Full Circle
Make sure all the pieces create a full circle. Let it sit for a few minutes while the glue dries completely.
Button It Up
Turn the flower over and glue a button, jewel or small pom to the center of the flower.
Put a Stem on It
Use a glue gun to secure a pipe cleaner or a stick to the back of the flower.
In Full Bloom
Repeat the entire process to create a bouquet.
