Mother’s Day DIY Flowers

Written By: Adriana Ramirez

Want to gift mom with her own bouquet of flowers but don’t want them to die? Here are the perfect flowers for you that will last a lifetime! You just need pipe cleaners and cupcake liners to make your creation.

Supplies:

12 Pipe Cleaners
12 Cupcake liners
Markers
Scissors

Step 1

Use your markers to design your flowers. Make them pretty, make them colorful, and just have fun making them because your mom will love it. Color the cupcake liners.

Step 2

Once you are finished designing then use the scissors to cut out the flowers from the liners.

Step 3

Now for the final step, you are going to stick your pipe cleaners through the middle of the liners so you can create your flower stems. Create a little ball at the top with your pipe cleaner so it doesn’t slip through the liner and fall out. Now you can set them in your own vase, or a short glass cup used as a vase.

There you have it – your very own flower. Make 12 flowers to create a bouquet for the special someone!
