Spring Crafts: Pipe Cleaner Flowers

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

To continue the Step Into Spring series, I’m excited to bring you super easy spring crafts to do with the kids. Many of us use the arrival of spring to clean up our lives; to re-gather and re-order. But I also see it as a great opportunity to revamp some old craft projects, to go about your day at home with the kids with renewed energy. This Pipe Cleaner Flower Craft from Mums Take Five is exactly the kind of step into spring crafts I’m after these days – pretty, creative, engaging, but also easy! And with the toddler almost ready to enjoy a few more craft activities, it’s also safe and relatively young toddler friendly.

Pipe Cleaner Spring Flowers

These are quick, fun and mess free! They’re also perfect for some easy kiddy entertainment – a big win in my books. Plus, you only need pipe cleaners!

YOU’LL NEED:

Pipe cleaners – really, that’s all you’ll need!

TO MAKE:

Petals | start my making the petals of the flowers by wrapping one pipe cleaner around your finger. Careful, not too tight!

Stamen | next you’ll want to make the centre Stamen part. For this, I use half a pipe cleaner. You can wrap it around your finger and it fits neatly in between the petals. Or you can wind it up like a snail. To attach the snail to the petals, leave the end unwound and feed it through the middle and tie on.

Leaves | make a stem and leaf by folding a loop into a green pipe cleaner 2/3 of the way down, and then tie onto the back of the flower.

| “Pop them into a little vase or glue them onto paper and you have some lovely spring flowers!”

For more spring fun, Mums Take Five has a great spring Chick Pea Zucchini and Mint Pattie recipe over on their blog. #stepintospring

At Mums Take Five, they’re all about taking five minutes for themselves. Which as busy mums, this can be easier said than done. But if you’re looking for something to cook, a quick answer, a craft to do with the kids or somewhere to spend a few minutes with a cup of coffee, Mums Take Five is the place for inspiration!

    It’s super easy isn’t it! I’ve got soo many sparkly pipe cleaners lying around still from the Book Parade costumes so will be great to put them to good use!

    These look so cute and super simple which I need. Even though I don’t have toddlers I need craft projects like this for the boys short attention spans!
