DIY Paper Flower Craft Ideas

Kids love crafts and there are so many paper flower crafts you can make with them. If you let the child chose what type of paper flower craft they want to make you will be absolutely amazed at their little imaginations!

Do not be surprised if they make paper flower craft alphabets or paper flower houses! Kids are so imaginative if only we had a small fraction of the imagination that a child has it would be fantastic. When it comes to kids and crafts they can and will create what an adult sees as the impossible!

Be sure to supply them with plenty of crepe paper, scissors that are age appropriate and clear drying glue and just watch them go. If you want you can provide them with a few helpful hints or guidance.

If you can make a house out of candy and gingerbread I bet a child can make a house out of paper flowers. For this project they will need a square box to shape and glue the flowers on to. They may even want to cut out a space for the windows and door. They can cover the "house" in crepe paper (paint) before they start making their flowers and attaching them. Smaller flowers will work best for this project.

How about a flower family? That would certainly go well with the house. You will need pipe cleaners for the body and flowers for the head you may also want to pick up some wiggly eyes, red dots for noses and a few beads for the mouths. I wonder what type of flower family they will create. Roses, carnations or maybe even daisies.

If they have gone as far as creating the flower family to go with the house why not let them make a neighborhood? This project will certainly make a rainy day go by quickly!

Children also enjoy making gifts for the people they love so if you have a few extra vases this is a great time to let them make a few simple centerpieces. Flower stationary is another great idea. Just leave the stems off the flowers and attach the flower to a corner of the paper.

Flower magnets that can be added to the collection on the refrigerator are also a lot of fun. You will need a role of magnet tape. Before the afternoon is over you may have a very colorful and flowery refrigerator.

Do not forget paper flower crafts make great gifts especially when made by little hands. They can make photo frames, flower collages, even flower necklaces (use tiny flowers for this project.) Cards are another great gift especially pop up ones. Who would not love a pop up flower card? Little trinket boxes with a flower top are a great craft projects if you do not have a lot of time.

If you run out of ideas for paper flower crafts you can make with the kids just ask them, I am sure they will have dozens of ideas!
