How to make it
1. Take a regular pipe cleaner in a fun spring color and bend it into a circle.
2. Twist the ends together so the circle is closed.
3. Twist the middles together in a figure 8.
4. Stick one end of the figure 8 inside the other, so you make an X shape like this. (It will sort of resemble a ball at this point.)
5. Squish the X down in the middle.
6. Now, twist the middle so your flower looks like this. You can mess with the petals a bit here to make them look more round.
7. Take a green pipe cleaner and pull it over the middle of the flower.
8. Twist the ends together under the flower.
9. Now, you have your flower is finished.
10. Make several different flowers in different colors to complete your fantastic Mother's Day pipe cleaner flower bouquet.
