Spring Craft: DIY Foam Flower Bouquet

These foam flowers will never wilt! Kids can give these to someone special, or they can put them in a vase as a fun decoration.

Each flower can be crafted in just a few minutes, so let kids enjoy the creative process of planning their bouquet. Thanks to different flower shapes and sizes, there are dozens of possible combinations.

What you'll need:

• Foam flowers
• Green pipe cleaners
• Glue
• Scissors
• Ribbon

Want to get all your supplies in one place? This Foam Flower Bouquet Kit (pictured above) has everything you need to make a bouquet of foam flowers.

Instructions:

1. Gather the flowers you'd like to use for your bouquet. The bouquet can include as many flowers as you'd like, but make sure you have an assortment of shapes and sizes.

You can also layer flowers on top of each other to create more color and texture. If you choose this option, layer and glue the flowers together.

2. Add a small, thin line of glue to the center back of each flower. Place a pipe cleaner on top of the glue and hold it there for a few seconds to ensure it's secure.

3. If you'd like your flowers to vary in height, use the scissors to trim different lengths off the bottom of the pipe cleaners.

4. Arrange the flowers into a bouquet.

5. Cut an 8" length of ribbon, then tie the ribbon into a bow around the pipe cleaner stems. Trim the ribbon ends, if necessary.
