Pipe Cleaner Rings

I have based this one off of a flower, but you can make anything you can imagine.  Please contact me for help if you need it.

What you will need:
  • Multiple pieces of pipe cleaners - I used 4 full and 1/2 pieces
  • Finger that piece will be worn on
Take the main colour pipe cleaner (White); should be a min. of 3 pieces for a flower, and twist together (loosely).
Twist around finger, again loosely as it will tighten as you go. fray out the ends once on your finger.
Take one end and tightly twist into a circle; this creates a petal
Repeat to all the ends
You can now pinch the petals to form a more petal like shape; though this is not required.
Now for the center of the flower. Take the 1/2 piece of pipe cleaner (yellow) and attach it to the ring on the bottom. To do this insert the end where you twisted the white pieces than twist the 1/2 piece to intertwine.
Push through the center and create another circle (tightly).
Take the last piece of pipe cleaner (green) and fold in half. unfold and twist center to the underside of the petal so that it doesn't loosen.  Once done twist each end into a circle and pinch into your leaves.
 Once everything is in the right placement (whatever you desire) its time to try your ring on!
