Paper Doily Flower Bouquet Craft
Gather Your Supplies (The Doily Dream Team):
- Paper Doilies – White, gold, or any colors you love! (One per flower)
- 12” Pipe Cleaners – Match or contrast your doilies! (One per flower)
Yep, that’s all you need!
This craft is proof that beautiful things don’t have to be complicated.
Let’s Get Crafting! (Two Ways to Bloom):
This bouquet uses two different flower styles for added visual interest.
Flower Style #1: The Classic Bloom (Like a Carnation):
- Center Pinch: Find the center of your doily. Gently pinch it together, creating a small “stem” at the bottom and allowing the rest of the doily to fan out like petals. This creates a full, ruffled look, similar to a carnation.
Flower Style #2: The Elegant Roll (Like a Tulip):
- Start the Roll: Choose a point on the edge of your doily. This will be the bottom of your flower. Begin rolling the doily inwards, forming a cone shape.
- Pinch and Prep: Once you have a cone shape, pinch the bottom tightly to create a defined “stem.” This will make it easier to attach the pipe cleaner.
For Both Flower Styles:
- Stem Secure!: Now, grab a pipe cleaner and wrap it tightly around the pinched “stem” of your doily flower. This secures the shape and creates the flower’s stem.
- Fluff and Finish: Straighten the remaining pipe cleaner to create the main stem. Gently adjust the doily “petals” to achieve the desired shape and fullness. Fluff them up a bit for extra dimension
- Build Your Bouquet: Create a mix of both flower styles for a more dynamic bouquet. Make as many flowers as you like!
- Display and Enjoy!: Arrange your beautiful doily flowers in a vase, a mason jar, or wrap them in tissue paper for a lovely gift. These delicate blooms are perfect for adding a touch of elegance to any space.
Perfect for:
- Valentine’s Day gifts
- Easter centerpieces
- Mother’s Day surprises
- Spring décor
- Adding a touch of vintage charm
- A relaxing and rewarding craft project!
So, gather your doilies and pipe cleaners and get ready to create a stunning bouquet that will brighten any day!
Happy crafting!
