How to make this toilet roll flower craft
Start by taking the paper rolls and stem item and coating them in colored paint. we used one yellow roll, one green roll and one painted green skewer (with the pointy end chopped off!) Per flower.
Cut your coloured paper roll into 5-7 rings. For this flower we used 5.
Pinch the rings at each side to form the petal shapes. Using a blob of glue at one end, glue a petal on either side of the stem. Then continue to glue the petals around ensuring they are glued to the petal on either side of it.
Cut out a coloured circle to make the centre of the flower and use a black marker to add some seeds. Glue the circle down in place.
Take the green paper roll and cut out some thin green rings. Pinch them at either end to make the leaf shape and then glue them onto the stem. Once dry your toilet roll flower craft is finished! Aren’t these just the sweetest?
Todays craft is another sweet and easy one. This little cupcake liner flower craft is perfect to make for both gifting and for displaying at home.

How to make our cupcake liner flower craft.
Take your cupcake liner and fold it in half three times to give you a small triangular shape.
Now take your scissors and round off the wide side of your cupcake liner so that it looks like a petal.
Open up your cupcake liner to reveal your beautiful flower. Then take your smaller sized liner and glue it down in the centre of your flower as you can see above.
Take your straw and glue it centrally on the back of your flower. You may have to hold it for a few seconds until it bonds together. Finish your flower by cutting out a triangular cupcake liner leaf and gluing it around your straw. Your cute cupcake liner flower craft is finished! Why not make a whole bouquet to keep or gift?
