Paper Flower Bouquet With Cupcake Liner Accordian Folded Flowers

Cupcake liner flowers meet paper accordian folded flowers by the pool

Cupcake liner flowers when combined with simple accordion folded paper flowers result in a beautiful and simple paper flower bouquet to grace your table or add some cheer to a little corner in your home. And with the Jewish holiday of Shavuot coming up in about three weeks, now is a great time to start filling our homes with flowers to honor this special holiday! And while I generally wouldn’t want to see stems of my flowers, in this case the colorful pipe cleaner stems look sweet, and in fact I even added some flower-less pipe cleaners to the bunch to fill it out a bit!

You’ll Need:

  • 20 plus year old nicely faded construction paper found at your mother’s house
  • 30 plus year old pastel colored cupcake liners (which so nicely match that construction paper!) found in your mother’s cabinet
  • colored pipe cleaners also from your mother’s stash
  • a stapler
  • cupcake liner flower tutorial
  • accordion folded flower tutorial

How To:

Make flowers according to the tutorials above, but make the accordion folded flowers with only one layer of paper, and leave a small open space near the center when closing. Slip the pipe cleaner stem of the cupcake liner flowers through this hole, and twist the stems together. Make a bunch to fill a vase, experiment with other types of flowers, or add paper leaves if you wish, and enjoy!
