Materials You'll Need:

  • YarnArt Baby 100% Acrylic yarn
  • A piece of cardboard (approximately 12 cm)
  • Scissors

  1. Prepare the Flower Petals:

    • Wrap the yarn around the cardboard 35 times.
    • Carefully tie the yarn together in the middle.
    • Cut both sides of the wrapped yarn to create individual strands.

  2. Create the Flower Base:

    • Tie the green yarn around the bottom of the flower petal section.

  3. Shape the Flower:

    • Trim and shape the petals and the stem of the flower to your liking.

  4. Fluff the Flower:

    • Use a comb to gently brush out the yarn strands, giving the flower a soft, fluffy appearance.

  5. Add Leaves:

    • Cut out leaf shapes from crepe paper.

  6. Assemble the Flower:

    • Attach the flower to the wooden stick.
    • Wrap yarn around the stick to create the flower's stem.
