These cheerful paper flowers are easy to assemble and can be made in any color combination you like. This is a simple craft that looks lovely in a vase and makes a sweet handmade gift.

Supplies

• Green bendable straws
• Colorful paper
• Scissors
• Glue stick
• Hole punch
• Pen or pencil
• Vase (optional)

Instructions

1. Print the flower patterns on colorful paper. You can also print them on white paper and let the kids color their own flowers before cutting them out.
2. Cut out the flower shapes carefully.
3. Use a hole punch to make a hole in the center of the small flower pieces. For the larger flower pieces, use a pen or pencil tip to gently make a hole in the center since a hole punch may not reach.
4. Bend the green straw slightly at the flexible section. Slide the large flower shape onto the straw until it rests near the bend.
5. Add glue to the back of the smaller flower shape. Slide it onto the straw so it meets the larger flower, then press the two flower pieces together.
6. Repeat the steps to make a whole bouquet of colorful straw flowers.
7. Place the finished flowers in a vase if desired and display them as a bright and happy decoration.
