Things You'll Need:
- Colored foam sheets
- Flower templates
- Leaves templates
- Marker
- Scissors
- Hole puncher
- Pipe cleaners
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
-
Step 1
Purchase foam sheets in assorted colors at craft shops such as AC Moore (see Resources below).
-
Step 2
Draw your own flower templates (see Tips below) or download free templates from the Internet (see Resources below) to print and cut.
-
Step 3
Lay flower templates on foam sheets and mark the outlines with a marker. Mark three different foam sheets for a three-layered flower. Cut the flowers marked on foam sheets with scissors. Punch a hole in the center of each cut foam flower layer with a hole punch.
-
Step 4
Lay the template for leaves on the green foam sheets. Mark the outlines of the leaves and cut them with scissors. Put aside.
-
Step 5
Align three layers of cut out foam flowers together with the hole punched, but turn each layer a little bit to reveal the different petal colors. Slip three green pipe cleaners through the hole, leaving 2 inches above the flowers. Twist each pipe cleaner separately, winding the top ends in a spiral with your fingers.
-
Step 6
Apply a few dabs of hot glue on the top flower and beneath it to secure the pipe cleaners from moving or falling out.
-
Step 7
Twist the bottom three pipe cleaners together to make a stem. With hot glue, attach two or three green foam leaves along the stem.
