Open the project guideBefore you start
Choose colours: Pick one main colour, one contrast colour and green or brown for natural stems.
Plan quantity: Sketch the project and count the stems for every repeated petal, leaf or decorative loop.
Finish safely: Fold or cover cut wire ends, and supervise young children when scissors or glue are used.
Children can make flowers, butterflies, animals, pencil toppers, letters, simple models and festive decorations. Adult supervision is recommended when cutting wire ends.
An 8mm chenille stem is a practical all-purpose thickness because it is soft to handle, visible in models and flexible enough for most flower and school craft projects.
A small flower often needs 3 to 6 stems, while layered flowers or bouquets need more depending on the number of petals, leaves and supporting stems.
