Tulips at the mall

These are tulips made from chenille stems (pipe cleaners) with lovely spring colors.

First, make the petals.

Use 30 cm pipe cleaners.

Prepare green and your preferred flower color.

Fold a pipe cleaner in half, combine two pieces, and twist them together.

Slide the twisted section downward, twist again, then fold the end upward to secure and shape it.

Make three petals like this.

Next, make the leaf.

Fold a green pipe cleaner in two, layer the two sides together and twist, slide it downward, shape it, and secure.

Use a hot glue gun to attach the petals and fasten them to a wire.

Fix the leaf with floral tape to finish.

Preparation and steps are simple, so this craft is also recommended for activities and recreation in senior care facilities.

Wreath of daffodils and roses

[Origami] Daffodil and Rose Wreath

Wreath of daffodils and roses

Daffodils bloom until early spring, while roses bloom around the end of spring, so even though their seasons are slightly different, both can be called quintessential spring flowers.

This is a simple yet three-dimensional wreath that combines daffodils and roses for a gorgeous look.

Another key point is that the wreath base and stem parts are flat, which helps emphasize the three-dimensional quality of the daffodil and rose blossoms.

For each flower, it’s important to carefully add fine creases, make cuts, and bend the paper so you can shape them to achieve a sense of depth.
