In Australia, cupcake and muffin cases are known as patty pans. These easy patty pan flowers make a perfect project for very young crafters. You'll find more easy flowers in the KidsCraftWeekly Flowers newsletter.

Patty pans (cupcake or muffin cases)
Cotton wool balls
Pipecleaners
Scissors
Glue
Sticky tape
Polystyrene (or a potato)

Using child-friendly scissors, chop into the edges of the patty pan.

Tape a pipe cleaner to the back.

Glue a cotton ball to the centre.

And there you have it! If you want you can stab the pipecleaner stems into a piece of polystyrene to make a flower bed. If you don't have any, a potato will work just as effectively!
