CIY Staff Tips:
- Mix and match different coloured paper towel and coloured coffee filters to get a variety of exciting flower designs.
- If a flower feels too loose, use a small piece of tape or a small amount of glue to hold it in place.
- Experiment using other fabrics or yarn to wrap your wreath.
- In lieu of a wreath, create a bouquet using the DIY flowers and chenille stems.
