- 1). Purchase foam sheets in assorted colors at craft shops such as AC Moore (see Resources below).
- 2). Draw your own flower templates (see Tips below) or download free templates from the Internet (see Resources below) to print and cut.
- 3). Lay flower templates on foam sheets and mark the outlines with a marker. Mark three different foam sheets for a three-layered flower. Cut the flowers marked on foam sheets with scissors. Punch a hole in the center of each cut foam flower layer with a hole punch.
- 4). Lay the template for leaves on the green foam sheets. Mark the outlines of the leaves and cut them with scissors. Put aside.
- 5). Align three layers of cut out foam flowers together with the hole punched, but turn each layer a little bit to reveal the different petal colors. Slip three green pipe cleaners through the hole, leaving 2 inches above the flowers. Twist each pipe cleaner separately, winding the top ends in a spiral with your fingers.
- 6). Apply a few dabs of hot glue on the top flower and beneath it to secure the pipe cleaners from moving or falling out.
- 7). Twist the bottom three pipe cleaners together to make a stem. With hot glue, attach two or three green foam leaves along the stem.
