Print out pattern. Use the larger template to cut out card stock pieces. Use the smaller template to cut out scrapbook paper pieces.
Use glue stick to attach the small scrapbook paper flower to the larger card stock flower.
Roll the flower up tight, spread the top out as if you were forming a cone shape.
Thread a pony bead onto a one of the short yellow pipe cleaners and bend at the top to close it around the bead. Repeat this for a total of three. Wrap the ends together with the end of a green pipe cleaner to attach them all together.
Poke the end of the green pipe cleaner down into the center of the flower. Hot glue in place.
Seal cone shape with a glue dot. Wrap each flower petal around a paintbrush or a pen to curl them.
Expert Tips & FAQs
Use whatever colors you like. Brightly colored card stock works best with a patterned scrapbook paper.
This project is great for all ages, but I grown up might need to help kids with the glue gun.
