Then twist the end of the petal around the green pipe cleaner to hold it in place. Lay the end of one of the petals over top of the 12 inch long green pipe cleaner, leaving about 1.5 inches of green pipe cleaner empty at the end. You should end up with 5 teardrop shaped petals. Twist together the ends of each pipe cleaner to make the petals. Just don’t add more than 15 beads or you won’t have enough pipe cleaner showing to twist it into shape. Even just 3 to 5 beads on each pipe cleaner looks great. If the kids get tired of threading the beads onto the pipe cleaners, they don’t have to fill them up like I did.
