Mother’s Day is a special occasion to show appreciation and love for the incredible women in our lives. What better way to express your gratitude than with a handcrafted gift filled with love? Commonly, a bouquet is the most obvious choice, or maybe a handmade card. Though receiving flowers can make anyone happy, it takes a lot of effort to take care of and they will eventually wilt no matter how hard you preserve them—unless you turn them into pressed or dried flowers on purpose.

How to Make Pipe Cleaner Flower Bouquet
Step 1: Fold and cut the pipe cleaner in half. Burn it about 4cm long from one end, then wrap the burnt part with floral tape.
Step 2: Hold the stem securely with your thumb, then carefully coil the fuzzy part around, and make 3.
Step 3: Gather and secure them together using floral tape, then make 5 more sets.
Step 4: Attach the sets alternately to a floral wire to make a single branch of baby’s breath. Make sure to wrap the floral tape as tightly as you can.
