Inside Your Kit
Your Flowers
For the first section of your kit, you'll be focusing on crafting each individual stem inside your bouquet. Take this slow and steady, and remember to enjoy the process of crafting each piece!
Where to Start
You can create each flower in any order you like, but if you're new to pipe cleaner crafting we recommend the following order.
⭐ Green Leaves x4
⭐ Roses x4
⭐ Prickly Poppies x4 (2x light pink, 2x soft white)
⭐ Frilly Lilies x2 (1x medium pink, 1x soft white)
Stitching in this order will help you build your skills gradually, helping you learn a new creative process easily and maximising your enjoyment!

Green Leaves
You'll be starting off with the simplest stems inside your bouquet. You'll be crafting 4x Green Leaves in using a dark shade of green.
...
For each leaf stem you will need:
⭐ 4x dark green or pipe cleaners
When adding your leaves to the stem, you can either place them evenly along the length in pairs or you can alternate placement.
Roses
Now its time to dive into flower making! You'll be creating 4x Roses out of your medium pink and deep pink pipe cleaners.
Despite their beautiful texture, these roses are surprisingly simple to make - making them the perfect flowers to dip your toes into.
...
For each flower you will need:
⭐ 3x medium pink pipe cleaners
⭐ 3x deep pink pipe cleaners
⭐ 2x green pipe cleaners
Whilst our design uses the deep pink in the middle and medium pink behind, why not alternate the colours to give a totally different feel?
Prickly Poppies
Next you'll be working on your Prickly Poppies! They are a beautifully simple flower that really packs a punch in your bouquet. For this kit, you'll be creating 4x Prickly Poppies in two shades. 2x Soft White and 2x Light Pink.
...
For each flower you will need:
⭐ 10x petal colour pipe cleaners
⭐ 1x light yellow pipe cleaner
If you have leftover pipe cleaners at the end of your bouquet, making a couple of extra prickly poppies is a great way to use up pipe cleaners and really bulk out your bouquet.
Frilly Lilies
Your final flower is the real showstopper - your frilly lilies! You'll be creating 2x Frilly Lilies in two shades of pipe cleaners. 1x in medium pink and 1x in soft white.
These flowers really draw the eye because of their large curved petals and frilly detail.
...
For each flower you will need:
⭐ 10x petal-coloured pipe cleaners
⭐ 5x light pink pipe cleaners
⭐ 1x light yellow pipe cleaner
⭐ 2x green pipe cleaners
These flowers look beautiful with added details such as pearl beads and shading on the tips.
Your Finishing Touches
Now that your individual stems are complete, you'll be adding some final creative details to your chosen blooms. These details will take your flowers from simply adorable, to mind-blowingly incredible!
Adding Pearl Beads
Adding Blush Pigments
Your Bouquet
The final step is to take your individual blooms and turn them into a proper bouquet. To do this, you'll be assembling your bouquet and then adding optional wrapping and ribbon as the finishing touch.

Sticky Dots & Florist Tape
Your kit includes two helpful materials that you might not be familiar with, if you have never crafted with pipe cleaners before. The below videos are a deep dive into these two materials, helping you to make the most of them inside your kit!
⭐ Sticky Dots - These sticky little pals are a great way to craft your flowers if you don't have access to a hot glue gun. Acting like tiny double-sided dots of glue, they will grip onto the fibres of your pipe cleaners, holding petals in place.
⭐ Florist Tape - This unique material is unlike any tape you've seen before. Made from paper, it becomes lightly tacky when stretched, and is intended to stick only to itself (not your pipe cleaners) making it the perfect way to bind your stems for a professional finish.
