Ingredients
Scale
- 24 mini cupcake liners in pink, purple, blue, and turquoise
- 4 paper straws
- 4 foam balls
- Green cardstock
- Glue
Instructions
- Start by taking a mini cupcake liner and gently folding or pinching it into a small hydrangea-style blossom. Repeat this for all 24 liners.
- Once you have a good number of blossoms, begin gluing them closely together over each foam ball. Ensure you overlap them to fully cover the ball’s surface.
- Allow the glued blossoms to dry thoroughly.
- After the glue has dried, take a flower-covered foam ball and securely attach it to a paper straw stem. Hold it in place for a few moments if necessary.
- Next, cut leaf shapes from the green cardstock. These will serve as decorative leaves for your hydrangeas.
- Glue the cut-out leaves to each stem, carefully positioning them near the lower part of the foam ball.
- Finally, arrange your four finished hydrangeas together in a small vase for display.
