I have a fun craft for you today.  In this post I will show you how to make Drinking Straw Flowers.  The supplies are for just one flower, but make a whole bunch and you have yourself a bouquet.  They would look fun and festive this Spring in a vase or pot.  Any age child will enjoy making these flowers even the youngest of crafters.  So, grab the materials needed and let’s get started with this craft.

Check out our other Drinking Straw Crafts.

 

Materials Needed

Drinking Straw

Scissors

Green Pipe Cleaner

Colored Pom Pom

Glue

 

Step 1

Cut the end of the straw about 1/2 inch down.  Do many of these cuts.

Step 2

Cut a bit down from the slits you made.

 

Step 3

Spread out petals.  Push green pipe cleaner up thru bottom.

 

Step 4

Bend green pipe cleaner so it won’t fall out of flower.  Then glue colored pom pom in center.

 

And, there you have it…. you just finished your Drinking Straw Flower.  How did it turn out for you.  Now, make a few and put together a beautiful bouquet of Drinking Straw Flowers.
