Fancier Valentine's Day Flowers

Fancier Valentine's Day Flowers

Try this upgraded version of Wondertime's original Valentine's Day flower craft.

Stack 10 pieces of tissue paper of a variety of colors. Using scissors, cut a heart-shaped petal from the stack, about 4 inches long. Hold the base of the heart petals at the top of a pencil. Then wrap a pipe cleaner around the base of those petals.

To make the stamen and pistils of the flower — those are the little things poking up from the flower's middle — thread a bead through the floral wire. Loop the wire over the bead and twist its end to secure it. Attach the wire firmly to the pipe cleaner at the center of the flower by looping it through the tip of the pipe cleaner. Use heart beads, letter beads (to spell people's names), and assorted other treasures from your baubles jar or craft store.

Consider adding heart-shaped leaves: Cut heart shapes out of green tissue and attach them to the flower stem with wire.

Deliver a grin with the bouquet by tucking a tiny photograph inside the center of the flower.
