DIY spring flowers easy to make with children from paper circles

Nothing like DIY easy spring flowers to decorate your home at a low price! Super simple to make and very decorative, flowers from paper circles are a great idea for a family activity to have fun together. You don't need any special materials to create this stunning flower decoration. You just need to get:

• White and colored paper

• 1 pencil

• Scissors

• Glue

• Markers or colored pencils

• 1 compass or a round stencil

If you don't have a compass, to draw the circles that will serve as petals, you can use a glass, a plate or even a round sharpener. Place the round object on the paper and trace the outline with the pencil. Finally, cut out all the circles. To make a flower, take a circle and fold it in half. Apply some glue, then glue the folded circle to a leaf. Repeat for the rest of these circles, making sure they overlap slightly at the edges.

Finally, it remains only to draw stems and leaves. Besides, this DIY easy spring flower technique is perfectly suited for decorating Easter cards, for Mother's Day or for any other occasion.

DIY easy spring flowers quilling style

The technique of quilling or even rolled paper is very popular and widely used for decorating cards and all kinds of decorative objects. Quilling consists of making decorative ornaments using narrow strips of paper, rolled up on themselves. Once the elements are assembled, we obtain magnificent decorations in 3D. An especially interesting activity for children is to make easy spring flowers in a quilling style. So the confinement period is a perfect opportunity for little artists to get creative by getting into the making of pretty rolled paper flowers.

Necessary material:

• Colored paper or cut-out quilling strips

• Glue

• Scissors

• 1 ruler

• 1 pencil

Use the ruler and pencil to draw several stripes on the intended sheet. Keep in mind that the thinner the paper strips, the harder it is to roll up. Cut strips of paper at least 1 cm wide. In addition, the quilling technique is excellent for the concentration and dexterity of the little ones, but you should never leave them unattended. After all of the strips are cut out, you can show the children how to make flowers according to your instructions.

First, you need to wrap a strip of paper around the pencil. Then, the roll of paper obtained is released from the pencil, allowing it to unwind slightly. Glue the end of the paper strip and let it dry a little before gluing the figurine to the sheet. Repeat for all the petals. Finally, it only remains to glue a few green strips that will serve as stems, as well as a few small leaves.

Spring crafts for children: paper mill with a flower

The following easy spring flower DIY idea is even more original and creative! This time, we don't just use paper, but also pipe cleaners. In addition, the flower is accompanied by a paper mill which makes the rendering even more decorative.

Necessary material:

• 2 green pipe cleaners (each 30 cm long)

• 1 small flowerpot

• Brown paper

• 1 yellow square sheet (8cm)

We recommend that you use the patterns provided, because this will save you some time. If you prefer, you can draw your patterns yourself. First, take a pipe cleaner and twist it to form the symbol representing infinity. This will play the role of leaves. The second pipe cleaner will act as a rod. Cut out the patterns and place them on the yellow square sheet (for the flower) and on the orange square sheet. Cut out the templates. The parts in gray are to be glued together.

Cut out the template for the windmill. You can use a ruler to draw the diagonals. Measure 3 cm from the tip and mark marks with a discreet pencil line. Cut along the lines up to the mark of each half-diagonal. Using a thumbtack, pierce the center and the tips, then fold the pints towards the middle of the square and secure everything to the flower. Attach the windmill and flower to the pipe cleaner stem. Crumple the brown paper into a ball and place it in the flowerpot. Install your DIY creation and you're done!
