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.
