How long does it take to make a pipe cleaner bouquet kit?
Each bouquet takes around 2–5 hours to complete, depending on complexity and your pace. Individual flowers usually take 10–20 minutes each, making it a satisfying project to enjoy at your own speed.
Do I need tools?
While most of the work of pipe cleaner crafts is using your hands to shape the chenille sticks, additional tools may be required. Scissors will be needed to cut lengths of pipe cleaners, and a hot glue gun will help attach some pipe cleaners. In our kits, we provide an alternative to hot glue - sticky dots will serve the same purpose as hot glue, without needing to go out and buy one.
Are pipe cleaner flower bouquets easy to make?
Pipe cleaner flowers are simple to make and easy to arrange into an ever-vibrant bouquet. Along with all the necessary materials, our kits include clear and comprehensive video tutorials to make the process as beginner-friendly as possible!
Are there guides included?
Yes, video and written guides are included in our kits. We want to make crafting as enjoyable as possible, so there's no way we'll leave you hanging!
What are pipe cleaners?
Pipe cleaners are also known as chenille sticks. They are a thin piece of flexible wire twisted around tufted and fluffy fibres. They were created to clean tobacco smoking pipes, but are now commonly used in craft projects.
How do the pipe cleaners attach to each other?
Pipe cleaners can be attached with either hot glue or sticky dots. We provide both options in our kits, and go through how to do each in detail.
What are used for the flower stems?
For the pipe cleaner bouquet flower stems, we use floral wire wrapped in florist tape. This keep the flowers sturdy in the bouquet, while still looking clean and neat.
Do I need to make the whole bouquet, or can I just keep the flowers separate?
It's up to you what you do with your pipe cleaner flowers. While we guide you through arranging them into a bouquet and wrapping them, you are more than welcome to stop before that point and keep the flowers singular.
What's the purpose of pipe cleaner flower bouquets?
The purpose of pipe cleaner flower bouquets is to provide your space with a pop of colour and greenery without needing to take care of any plants or let the seasons decide which flowers you can display. You can also gift the flowers to friends or loved ones, or make them together.
Are these kits beginner-friendly?
Yes! All of our craft kits are designed to be beginner-friendly. We believe that creativity is for everyone, and want to give people the confidence to find their creative side.

Really liked making it. It's a bit repetitive. But it was quick to learn and make! I watched the video tutorials and they were really well explained! It's also a really great mother's day gift
A bit disappointing
I was really excited to start this kit but then I discovered that the masking tape was no longer sticky and was falling apart. Now I need to go to the arts and crafts store to buy extra tape.
Store owner replied:
Thanks for sharing your experience! Just a quick note for anyone using our kits: the green florist tape isn’t like regular sticky tape, it doesn’t stick on one side. To work properly on your stems, it needs to be stretched slightly and wrapped in more than one layer. This helps it hold everything securely without needing extra tape from the store 😊

Stunning!!
I love this kit so much, to the point where I want to make more and more pipe cleaner flowers! I thought it would be hard and really complicated but the video instructions are so easy to follow! The flowers are stunning too, the pictures don’t do it enough justice!
