10. Sunflower “Coil” Centers
The key to a 2026 pipe cleaner sunflower is the texture of the center. Using a brown “bump” pipe cleaner (a type with varying thickness) creates a realistic seed-head.
- How to Make: Roll a brown “bump” pipe cleaner into a tight flat disc. Twist 10–12 small yellow loops around the edge. It creates a sturdy, tactile flower that kids love to touch.
- Items to Make: Brown “bump” stems, yellow pipe cleaners, and green stems.
