Whether you wanna carry your pipe cleaner flowers or showcase them all on a table, a pipe cleaner basket makes a REALLY nice match. Let’s find out 5 ways to craft flower baskets for the Chrysanthemums to simple flowers like daisies.
Yup, there will be video instructions for crafting each flower along with the basket.
You can use the used noodle cups, styrofoam, or cardboard as base for the pot. We shall discuss all these things and more. Like to try the faux grass, adding beads on flowers and color creatives.
Let’s understand these best methods to craft flowers with chenille stems.
Way #1: Craft A Pipe Cleaner Ping Pong Chrysanthemums
This mini Chrysanthemum basket of 7 pipe cleaner Ping Pongs is colorful and has life-like blooms. The idea is to take seven pipe cleaners in any color, cut the 10cm from each pipe cleaner, and make a bundle of these cutouts (30 cleaners).
The flower branch must measure 20cm long. You will have to bend and arrange the segments in the rounded ping pong.
Make sure to close the bundle tightly using a pipe cleaner and start making as many loops as you can. Keep the lengths of the craft wires in different sizes. The flower head is attached to the 20cm flower branch.
Way #2: Craft A Pipe Cleaner Chrysanthemum Basket
The basket in this pipe cleaner Chrysanthemum also has a handle and can be crafted around a noodle bucket. Like the last one, glue the basket in vertical stripes of pipe cleaner.
Fill the bucket with the styrofoam and then make the rolls of the green pipe cleaner as the grass. You will have to craft a 9-petal flower with a yellow centre.
Use craft wires in different heights and make it full of blooms. It will be a not-to-miss picnic pick, and home decoration. Mix the white, purple, and pastel purple.
Way #3: Craft A Pipe Cleaner Flower Basket with Cardboard
Let’s craft a corded basket filled with pink, yellow, beige, and purple, and more pipe cleaner Pulmeria flowers. You will have to craft five petals separately by the “inserting in a loop” method. Then join at the bottom corner.
You can also use three or two-color pastel chenille stems. Then attach a small white bead in the centre and also crochet green pipe cleaner petals using the “inserting in a loop” method.
To make the basket portable, you have to twist pipe cleaners around and attach them as a handle. It would be a REALLY perfect basket.
Way #4: Craft A Pipe Cleaner Tulip Basket
Let’s make a small pot filled with 8 tulip plants. You have to wrap the pipe cleaner around a marker of 1.5cm diameter and secure it. Five would be enough. Then all you need is to separate the loops a little and bend them into a tulip.
It is easy. When you attach a green pipe cleaner as a stem, just wrap a part of it to make the leaf. You need two leaves per tulip.
Also, use a makeup brush and toner to add redness at the top of the tulip buds. You can use a tissue paper roll, some clay, and cardboard stuffing for the pot, and add the roundness.
Way #5: Craft A Pipe Cleaner Daisy Basket
The 5-petal daisy is the easiest with the pipe cleaners. Craft a tulip in white, orange, and yellow with a barrel pipe cleaner, and make an ELEGANT spring decoration.
You will find it easy, as you should only have enough time to fill the basket. Or, you can craft a small basket. You can also use faux grass to fill your basket with.
