These flowers are perfect to stand by the window and are so low maintenance, they don't need watering! Place them in a pot of soil or sand to stand them upright.

  • For less glitter wastage, use a scrap piece of paper folded in half to catch the glitter falling off the flower while decorating, This will make it easy to tip the glitter back into the container ready to reuse!
  • Step 1Paint a skewer white. Allow to dry. This is not essential but provides a good base for painting.
  • Step 2Paint your skewer green. Allow to dry.
  • Step 3Arrange five branch offcuts in a flower shape. Secure with glue and allow to dry.
  • Step 4Glue your skewer to the back of your flower. You may need to hold it in place as it dries.
  • Step 5Apply glue to the centre branch offcut and sprinkle on some glitter. Allow to dry.
  • Step 6Paint the centre of each branch offcut petal in bright colours. Allow to dry.
