Introduction to Your Bouquet
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.
⭐ Baby Daisies x4
⭐ Prickly Poppies x3
⭐ Gerberas x3
⭐ Tulips x4 (2x light pink, 2x coral pink)
⭐ Calla Lily x1
Stitching in this order will help you build your skills gradually, helping you learn a new creative process easily and maximising your enjoyment!

Baby Daisies
You'll be starting off with the simplest flower inside your bouquet. You'll be creating 3x Baby Daisy stems using your soft baby blue pipe cleaners.
...
For each baby daisy stem you will need:
⭐ 3x light blue pipe cleaners
⭐ 1x cream pipe cleaners
⭐ 2x grass green pipe cleaners
We've created daisy stems with just 3x flowers per stem, but if you have leftover blue pipe cleaners feel free to add extra daises to each stem to really bulk out the blooms.
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 3x Prickly Poppies in soft yellow and orange pipe cleaners.
...
For each flower you will need:
⭐ 10x soft yellow pipe cleaners
⭐ 1x orange 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. You can create poppies in any shade of pipe cleaners that you have left.
If you'd like to add pearl beads to your bouquet, these blooms are a nice place to add them. Simply style your poppy so that the petals open widely so that its more visible.
Gerberas
The next flower you'll be bringing to life are your gorgeous lilac gerberas. You'll be making 3x Gerberas using lilac purple, yellow and orange pipe cleaners.
These flowers may have a lot of petals, but they're quite quick and satisfying to whip up.
...
For each flower you will need:
⭐ 4x lilac purple pipe cleaners
⭐ 1x soft yellow pipe cleaner
⭐ 1x orange pipe cleaner
You can alternate the yellow and orange middle pieces if you prefer the yellow colour to be more dominant in the finished bouquet. You can also play around with any leftover colours in the middle too - such as cream or even green.
Tulips
Your next flower is a surprisingly pipe cleaner heavy creation - but at this stage of your journey you should have built up your skills enough to master these.
You'll be crafting 4x Tulips in two shades of pipe cleaners. 2x in coral pink and 2x in light pink.
The density and layering of the petals really give this flower its edge, so take it slow and steady - and enjoy the process!
...
For each flower you will need:
⭐ 12x petal-coloured pipe cleaners
⭐ 2x grass green or 2x olive green pipe cleaners
You can style your tulips to be open or closed blooms. To close the petals tightly, add some hot glue to seal the inner 3x petals. If you're opting to open the petals completely, you can even wind a small about of yellow pipe cleaner around the middle stem to create a centre.
Cala Lily
We've left the most show-stopping flower shape until last. For this step you'll be creating 1x Calla Lily with your cream and orange pipe cleaners.
These lilies are so chic and luxurious, and worth the effort in creating. So make sure to take this flower slow and steady for the perfect result.
...
For each flower you will need:
⭐ 10x cream pipe cleaners
⭐ 1x orange pipe cleaner
⭐ 2x grass green pipe cleaners
If you'd like to mix up the colour of your Calla Lily stem, you can pair it with any light yellow pipe cleaners left inside your kit for a softer finished look.
Your Calla Lily is also a perfect flower for adding pearl beads to because of its large and wide petal shape.
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.

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.
