Andreja Vucajnk from Easy Peasy and Fun has shared her secrets for crafting these cute paper daffodils with spiral middles. Don’t get me wrong, I love the few house plants we do have and they’re all holding up well enough so far but there’s something about fresh flowers that I can’t seem to resist, especially around this time of year when the first warm rays of sunshine start to make an appearance and I pretty much buy every tulip I can get my hands on. Using the template as a guide, cut out petals, trumpets/tubes, and stigmas from your yellow, white, and orange crepe paper. Each flower needs six petals, one trumpet, and one stigma. Your kit has plenty of paper to cut out seven flowers. Fold the stigma paper in half so that the short sides touch and then glue and wrap around one of the short pieces of wire.

The colour of the daffodil also has its own symbolism. The bright yellow colour of the flower petals makes them a symbol of positivity and joy.

Looking for something different

Just drop the oasis foam into the water and leave it to soak up all of the water on its own. Don’t be tempted to push it down otherwise it might not soak evenly. When it’s almost completely submerged and soaked up a lot of water it’s ready to decorate. The instructions feature handy photos to demonstrate to your children what each step of the craft should look like. At the end of the craft, they should have their own beautiful daffodil wreath that can be used as a classroom decoration, or taken home and given to somebody as a springtime gift. Did you know that they are the national flower of Wales, which makes them perfect for St David’s day crafts.

Put a rim of glue along the bottom inside of the trumpet. Put the wire and stigma inside the trumpet and squeeze the trumpet to the stigma and wire. The trumpet should be pretty evenly scrunched along the stigma. After you attach all your daffodils, add any extra leaves you want by gluing them to the wrapped stems.

I should say, that I’m by no means an expert in anything to do with flowers or plants and I totally admit that I even had to google how to soak the oasis for the flowers before I started this project. But, as I got quite a few questions on how to make this wreath I thought I’d share this super easy guide. Seriously, it takes minutes and if I could make it, anyone can! Before you add the last daffodils, tie a ribbon around one side of the wreath so that you can hang it from your door. Then just fill the area around the ribbon so that it’s hidden before hanging from your door.I leave you with the poetry of William Wordsworth, and his poem about the beautiful spring flower which is the daffodil: There are loads of them around where I live and it’s lovely to see the bright colours when I’m out walking my dogs.

I love how the pipe cleaners are twisted into simple spirals to made the petals and middle of this iconic flower.

Keep wrapping the stem to the bottom of the wire. Tear off the paper, add a dot of glue to the paper strip, and secure it. Gently stretch sections along the scalloped top of the trumpet so that it has some movement, and use your index finger to stretch the base a little bit so that it looks more like a cup. My choice would definitely be those pipe cleaner daffodils, with the felt wreath coming in a close second!

And there you have it, a super simple but effective DIY spring daffodil wreath that only took about 15 minutes to make.

You can buy this part ready made if you'd prefer – see products above. Gently push the stems into the moss and secure with a small piece of wire if needed. Continue adding them until you have a dense covering of narcissus. Finish by adding the cherry blossom as a final flourish.
