Not everyone can have a flower delivery by Flowers For Everyone, so why not make these cotton pad Calla lilies instead. When my boys first started school they made me a mother’s day card with these on the front and I remember loving it. So instead of putting them on a card we decided to pop them in straws to make a bunch of calla lillies.Q-Tip and Cotton Pad Calla Lily Craft
Materials:
- Straws
- Q-Tips
- Yellow felt tip pen
- All purpose glue
- Cotton Pads – we used round and oval
How to make a cotton pad calla lily craft
Calla Lillies are such a beautiful, stylish flowers and these are deceptively simple to make, but look amazing. I would be delighted to be presented with these.
First off you need to colour the end of your q-tip (cotton bud) yellow to represent the stamen of the calla lily.
Then you need to add a dab of all-purpose glue and attach your q-tip.
Then squeeze it together for the head of the lily.
Depending on the width of your straw you might need to add a dab of glue before putting the other end of the cotton bud in the straw.
We took a look at the lilies I had and noticed that some of them had two petals, so we used the larger oval cotton pads to create a second petal.
They look amazing in a vase and we had so much fun making them.
