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 x2
🌼 Baby Daisies x3
🌷 Lilies x2
🌸 Prickly Poppies x3
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 3x Green Leaves in using a rich shade of green.
These are an easy jumping off point that doesnt require any gluing.
...
For each leaf stem you will need:
⭐ 4x moss green 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.
Simple Baby Daisies
Now its time to dive into flower making! You'll be creating 3x Simple Baby Daisies out of your lavender purple pipe cleaners.
Each of these precious stems has three tiny daisies, which you can mould and shift to fit in between your finished sunflowers.
This tutorial uses a simplified version of our Baby Daisy technique which omits adding leaves. This keeps your lilies and poppies the star of the show in this bouquet.
...
For each flower you will need:
⭐ 3x lavender pipe cleaners
⭐ 1x mellow yellow pipe cleaner
⭐ 1x moss green pipe cleaner
Lilies
Moving on to the first of our larger flowers - you'll be creating 2x Lilies using pastel mauve pipe cleaners.
We've included two options for your stamen middle in this tutorial. You can use the delicate dipped string stamen that you'll find pre-made inside your kit, or you can craft a star-like yellow stamen out of pipe cleaners. Both styles have their own beauty, and its up to you to choose your favourite!
...
For each flower you will need:
⭐ 10x pastel mauve pipe cleaners
⭐ 2x olive green pipe cleaners
⭐ 3x pre-made stamen pieces
OR
⭐ 0.5x mellow yellow pipe cleaner
Prickly Poppies
Finally 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 lilac pipe cleaners.
...
For each flower you will need:
⭐ 10x lilac pipe cleaners
⭐ 1x mellow yellow pipe cleaner
Sitcky 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.

An Optional Finishing Touch
Now that your individual stems are complete, you have the option to add some blush pigment to your blooms as a finishing touch.
We have not included pigment on our bouquet imagery, but it can be a lovely way to add dimension and extra colour to your finished piece - all you need is an old blush or eyeshadow palette! Any artists pigment will also work if you have some handy.
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.
