CIY Staff Tips

  • Mix and match different colored paper towel and colored 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.
