Flower Straw Toppers
Flower Straw Toppers are blooms for you to have inside or out!
This time of the year, isn’t there always a reason to add a flower detail. These details also need to be quick and easy.Aftercrowning our Maypole Cupcakes with Flower Toppers,we couldn’t stop cutting paper flowers and realised that these would make the perfect straw toppers — transforming ordinary beverages into a garden! We used ourFlower Straw Toppersfor aspontaneous house party but, these would work perfectly for a big party and are also a super, small hand, craft.
MakeFlower Straw Toppers, too.
Follow below for the full tutorial
- 220g paper
- scissors
- straws.
- Cut paper squares.If you would like to make flowers like ours, we cut5 inch squares (12.5 cm.)
- Using the traditionalsnowflake fold, fold in 1/2.
- Fold this 1/2 square in1/2 half again
- Turn the square and fold down the middle (making a fold from one point to another)
- Trimming or rounding the top edge so that it resembles a cone shape.
- The difference will be to clip a small, small, hole at the point with which to slip the straw through.
- Once the flower has beenunfolded, fit the flower over the top of the straw. and you are ready for a party!

These flowers are made from household materialsmeaning that you
can throw a party at any time — a rainy day, a teddy bear party or as
partyfavors. Happy Making!
Pictured above:
1. Start by folding your square in half and then, folding that half in half again.
2. Hold the folded square in your hand and fold the square diagonally, making a triangle.
3. One you have the triangle, cut a petal shape along the top edge. Snip a small amount from the point for the straw.
4. Unfold.
Flowery wishes.
