Cut leaves out of your green papers. We put two leaves on each daffodil, plus more to fill out the wreath. Don’t forget that you can see our full front door makeover with lots of before and after pictures here. Daffodils are traditionally worn on St David’s Day on the 1st March in Wales to celebrate St David, the patron saint of Wales. If you feel that the crepe paper flowers from the start of this list of daffodil crafts is a bit beyond your paper folding skills then try out these simpler paper daffodils instead.
You’ll need a polystyrene ring as the base for your wreath, some wool felt, embroidery thread, scissors, needles and pins, a glue gun and a couple of other craft stash basics to make your own wreath for spring. Gently push the stems into the moss and secure with a small piece of wire if needed. Continue adding them until you have a dense covering of narcissus. Finish by adding the cherry blossom as a final flourish. If you’re hosting a family meal to celebrate St David’s Day then what better way to decorate the table than with these handmade daffodil napkins? I should say, that I’m by no means an expert in anything to do with flowers or plants and I totally admit that I even had to google how to soak the oasis for the flowers before I started this project. But, as I got quite a few questions on how to make this wreath I thought I’d share this super easy guide. Seriously, it takes minutes and if I could make it, anyone can!

Grab the template from The House that Lars Built and then either hand-cut the daffodil shapes or use your Cricut or other cutting machine to do the hard work for you. The instructions feature handy photos to demonstrate to your children what each step of the craft should look like. At the end of the craft, they should have their own beautiful daffodil wreath that can be used as a classroom decoration, or taken home and given to somebody as a springtime gift. Perhaps you are looking for something a little more challenging or intricate, then these are the ones for you. I particularly love the free em broidery pattern.
Move all the flowers to one side, as well as the top layers of the green until you are left with only the four very bottom sections. This fab tutorial by Laura Howard contains everything to need to know to replicate this felt and yarn spring wreath. You can find more gorgeous daffodil craft ideas at the Twinkl Crafts St. David's Day Hub. Are there similar resources available? Start by soaking your oasis in some water. Ideally, you’ll use water that’s enriched with some plant feed to make the flowers in your wreath last longer.Just drop the oasis foam into the water and leave it to soak up all of the water on its own. Don’t be tempted to push it down otherwise it might not soak evenly. When it’s almost completely submerged and soaked up a lot of water it’s ready to decorate. Ideally, you’ll use something like a clout nail to attach the ribbon as it has enough surface area to hold the ribbon firmly in place. Cut some early narcissus from the garden or buy a couple of bunches from a florist. A few different shades will add interest to your wreath. Cut a handful of short stems of early blossom – the cherry plum, Prunus cerasifera has very early, elegant flowers. Using the template as a guide, cut out petals, trumpets/tubes, and stigmas from your yellow, white, and orange crepe paper. Each flower needs six petals, one trumpet, and one stigma. Your kit has plenty of paper to cut out seven flowers. Fold the stigma paper in half so that the short sides touch and then glue and wrap around one of the short pieces of wire.
Cut the narcissus so that the stems are approximately 8cm in length. Make sure you keep the stems in water until the moment you are ready to attach them.There are loads of them around where I live and it’s lovely to see the bright colours when I’m out walking my dogs.
General Crafts 11 Delightful Daffodil Crafts for St David’s Day Does anything show that it’s time for spring any better than the beautiful daffodil? In honour of this yellow and orange springtime beauty, here are eleven daffodil crafts to inspire your crafting this season. This is an intermediate level crochet pattern and should be completed with a hook size of 3.50mm and DK/Light Worset yarn weight. Time for the stem! Cut some of your green paper into long strips, making sure that the crepe paper’s grain is perpendicular to the length of the strip. This means that the strips will stretch out really long. You will need one strip for each stem. Daffodil flowers first start to show towards the end of winter. For many people, this makes the daffodil a symbol of spring. Like many symbols of spring, they also symbolise new beginnings, rebirth and hope. Can your class think of any other springtime symbols?This gorgeous wreath uses REAL daffodils and narcissus so it really is a show-stopper spring wreath for your home. Put a rim of glue along the bottom inside of the trumpet. Put the wire and stigma inside the trumpet and squeeze the trumpet to the stigma and wire. The trumpet should be pretty evenly scrunched along the stigma.
