How to make our easy paper tulips craft
Start by cutting out six identical tulip heads. The easiest way to do this is to create a template, you can either design your own or use our free printable one which can be found above.
Fold each tulip head in half down the centre line as you can see in the image above.
Take two of your folded tulip heads and glue them together so that they are aligned at the petals. Take a third tulip and then attach that one to the two you have just joined.
From your green paper cut out a large rectangle for the stem and two thin leaves. Again, these can be found on our template if needed.
Starting at one corner begin rolling the paper on an angle to create a stem.
Roll the paper all the way to the end and secure the loose end with glue.
Glue the paper stem inside the centre of the flowers that you have begun to stick together.
Take your remaining flower heads and continue gluing them onto your tulip aligning them with the previous ones and covering the stem. Once you have your last tulip head make sure it is glued on both sides to close up the flower.
Glue your two leaves onto the stem and your paper flower is finished! Simply pop it aside until it’s dry and ready to give to someone special.

How to make our 3D heart cards
Take your piece of card and fold it in half ready for your design.
Next you will need to cut out 5 identical hearts. We did three of one colour and then two of another. Once you have all your hearts fold them in half at the centre point.
Take one heart of each colour. Glue one half of each heart and then stick them together as can be seen in the image above.
Continue this process by continuing to add hearts on either side alternating the colours until you have your completed 3D heart.
Glue the heart down onto the front of your card and cut out and add a smaller heart on either side.
Finish off your card by adding a special personalised message at the bottom and your card is ready to gift to someone special!

How to make our heart shaped pom pom bookmarks
Start by taking your coloured yarn and wrapping it around your fingers several times until you have a good, chunky amount stacked up.
Gently remove the yarn from your fingers.
Take a small length of string and tie it across the centre of your Pom Pom ensuring that you pull it very tight.
Take your scissors and cut all the way around the edge of the Pom Pom at the centre of the loops.
Fluff your Pom Pom up and trim the scraggly ends, ensure that you don’t over trim as you will need to shape it a little later.
Repeat this process until you have 3 little Pom poms.
Take your glue gun and glue the three pom poms together into a triangular shape
Trim your Pom Poms down into your desired heart shape.
Once you are happy with the shape of your heart glue it down onto a thick lollipop stick and then add your special message to the front of the stick.
