Step-by-step instructions

Step 1: Gather the craft supplies you need for this craft. 

Step 2: Start with scrap paper and draw one of the flowers you can see in the pictures above. Make sure your flower has the right size for your straw. When you´re happy with your flower drawing, cut it out and trace it on a piece of foam. Cut out your foam flower as well.

Step 3: We will use a piece of cardboard or wood for the base of your stamp. This piece needs to be slightly bigger than your foam flower. Glue your foam flower against the cardboard or wood and let it dry. 

Step 4: Take a small plate and put some paint out with a sponge (we used an old cleaning sponge). We´re going to apply the paint to your foam stamp. With the sponge, it´s easier to control the amount of color you apply to make a lovely clean stamp. You can use washable paint or acrylic paint, as we did.

Step 5: Now, it´s time for a test stamp. Take scrap paper or an old newspaper and try out your logo. 

Step 6: When you´re happy with your test stamp, it´s time to stamp on your white cardstock. We recommend using white card stock , so the paper doesn´t bend as easily. Try out multiple stamps and colors on one paper sheet. When you are done stamping, put your paper aside and let the paint dry. 

Step 7: If you like, you can also make some green leave stamps for your flowers, but this is optional.

Step 8: When your flowers are dry, we will cut them out. Leave a small white border around your stamp to make the flower pop more. 

Step 9: Give your flowers a cute face, draw a smile with a black fine liner/marker and a pair of eyes, or glue some googly eyes. And what about some pink cheeks?

Step 10: Now, glue our flower prints against your straw. You can use hot glue to ensure the flower sticks well or secure the flower with a piece of tape. And don´t forget to glue one or two green leaves on your strawflower. 

Well, they are done creating these gorgeous DIY flower stamps. Are you ready for another fun flower craft activity? Try out these pretty DIY paper flowers in a popsicle frame. They make a cute gift idea for a loved one.
