Pipe Cleaner Flowers

May 4, 2020 by Wifeeclectic Leave a Comment

This mother’s day grab a stack of pipe cleaners and a little bit of hot glue and you can make your mom a darling bouquet of pipe cleaner flowers. These are so easy that kids can make them with very little help and they last forever!

Pipe Cleaner Flowers

All you need for these flowers is pipe cleaners and hot glue. You can make your flowers in any color you want but for simplicity sake in this tutorial our flower will be yellow, the center orange and the stem green. If you want to change your colors you need three pipe cleaners to be your petals, one to be your center color and one to be your stem color.

You will need:

  • 3 pipe cleaners in yellow
  • 1 pipe cleaner in green
  • 1 pipe cleaner in orange
  • Hot Glue

The best part of these flowers is they need very little glue! It is mostly just twisting the pipe cleaners together.
