Q-tips Craft: Miniature Spring Flowers!

It's time for a new Q-tip craft! I love these cheerful
little flowers that are made from Q-tips and coffee filters.
The basic flower that I am going to show you in this
video is very easy and from there you can get creative
with lots of variations to make a whole bouquet.

What You Need:

Precision Q-tips (one for each flower)

yellow and/or green marker

wire clippers

dyed coffee filters or tissue paper: your choice
of flower color and a shade of green for the stem

thick white glue

scissors

awl or something similar to poke a hole

How To Make The Flowers:

1. Clip the end off of one Q-tip.

2. Using the side of of a green or yellow marker,
color the cotton end of the Q-tip then set aside to dry.

3. Cut 6-8 1½" circles from the coffee filters in the
color you want for your flower.

4. Stack the circles and poke a hole in the center of them.

5. One at a time, run the coffee filter circles up the Q-tip
and squish it around the colored cotton tip; repeat
for each layer squishing less as you go along.

6. Cut a skinny rectangle (about ½" wide and 2" long)
from the green coffee filter.

7. Dab the stem with glue then cover it
with the green rectangle.

All done!

Group several together for a bouquet, glue on a pin to
make a brooch, or use them to decorate cupcakes!

Visit Q-tips on Facebook for more ideas on other
ways to use Q-tips. You can also find some funny videos
featuring Q-tips on their YouTube channel -
"Grime Fighter" is my favorite :)

This post is sponsored by Q-tips but all the ideas
and recommendations are my own. Q-tips® product
