create kiddo: DIY Tulips Upcycled Vase and Printable

Wednesday, May 22, 2013 24 Comments

 

Today I have for you a fun little DIY that can ultimately be for YOU or the KIDDOS!

 

DIY Tulips Upcycled Vase and Printable @mamamissblog #tulips #freeprintable #upcycle

 

Do you remember our visit to the tulip farm last month?  Well, after our trip I was inspired to recreate a vase I saw in the store, to display our beautiful tulips.  And, as you can imagine, V wanted one too…of course she did :)  So, hmmm (wheels turning)…how was I going to make her a vase, similar to mine, with faux (kid-proof) tulips?  Well, this is what I came up with, how I did it, and how you can too!

 

  • empty & clean baby food jar
  • sisal rope
  • hot glue gun & glue sticks
  • six (6) green pipe-cleaners
  • glue stick
  • scissors
  • printable (see below for download)

 





  • Following the instructions for the DIY Rope Vase here, create one using the clean baby food jar, sisal rope, & hot glue gun.
  • Cut out all tulip heads
  • Create your tulip heads

 

  1. For each tulip head you will need one pipe-cleaner, the four tulip heads of the same color, and your glue stick.
  2. Cover one of the four tulip pieces entirely in glue, from your glue stick.
  3. Add the second tulip piece to half of tulip piece one, leaving the other half free.
  4. Add piece number three in the same manor as number two, leaving half of it free of glue.
  5. Fold the glue free sections of pieces two & three in half, prints facing each other.
  • Add your tulip base to your tulip heads, completing the full tulip.


  1. Cover one end of your pipe-cleaner completely with glue from your glue stick and place in the center seam.
  2. Apply glue from your glue stick to piece number four, covering it completely.  Place on top of the tulip folds and center, enclosing the pipe-cleaner.
  3. Spread out, pinch, and fold tulip head pieces until symmetrical.  Add more glue if needed to seal completely.
  4. Roll up base of pipe-cleaner into a circle for easier placement in your jar.
  • Repeat all the above steps for each tulip, varying the heights of the pipe-cleaner bases for different flower heights.
  • Arrange your tulips in your completed DIY rope jar.

    Hi!
    Found this though Pinterest and think it’s a really nice craft idea. I’ll use this tomorrow with my kids at school. Since my students don’t read so well I did a video instruction. I wonder if it’s ok to post that video on my own blog and link to your blogg for instructions and printable?

These two... I couldn’t get them to walk away from our science table.

🐚🌊☀️When we went to the beach last week, V found this spiral thingee (official term 😆) way far back on the sand, near the dunes... it had obviously washed up a long time ago.  She brought it to us & my mom (PHD science professor-lol good to have one of those in your back pocket, huh?!) identified it as a Whelk Egg Casing. 

🔍🧐 🐚After Googling, based on the details of the casing, we determined it is an egg casing from a Knobbed Welk. 

🐚🔍🕵🏼‍♀️Whelk eggs are fertilized internally and laid in capsule packets. Strings of these connected egg capsules are usually one to three feet in length, comprised of up to 160 capsules, and each casing containing 40-100 eggs. These eggs are SUPER TINY - ALREADY FORMED - LITTLE BABY SHELLS (swipe to the last shot)!!! The mother whelk anchors one end of the string onto rocks, shells, or sand on the sea floor for safety. Apparently, only about one percent will hatch successfully. If they emerge successfully from the egg case, they can expect to live for about 10 to 15 years if they reach maturity.

Pretty cool huh?! #youlearnsomethingneweveryday

Annnnd I turned it into a free printable for ya by Annnnd I turned it into a free printable for ya by slapping a quote on it 😉🤗 #linkinbio 

https://www.mamamiss.com/blog/2021/04/01/adjusting-focus/

“When we focus on our gratitude, the tide of disappointment goes out and the tide of love rushes in.” - Kristin Armstrong

Print it out and hang it in your workspace, or the hallway, or the bedroom mirror as inspiration…. to reframe the ol’ noggin and focus on the gratitude and the things that are most important to us.

oh & p.s. 🤫🤗🤩🥳

I will be sharing an exciting announcement next week! Be sure to stay tuned and keep an eye out, I can’t wait to share this news with you!!!!!!!

Loose Parts Tray 🔩⚙️🗝 We’ve had this Loose Parts Tray 🔩⚙️🗝

We’ve had this loose parts tray since my kids were wee little ones and it is still utilized to this day.  I just happened to catch a kiddo mid-way through mandala making today. 

🌀💠🔆You can theme it out however you want - nature parts, color parts... think beads, buttons, bits & bobs... take a stroll down the small parts aisle at the craft store or your local hardware store to find some inspiration. 

🖇📏🧮 I love how loose part trays allow open-ended creative play.  Kiddos can explore the different textures and shape concepts in the tray to create structures, free play, or even work on math!

💡What would you use your loose parts tray for?
