How To Make A Fingerprint Flower Bouquet Craft

Step 1: Create Your Flower Centers

  • Add 6 small dots of glue spaced out across your white cardstock. Press a button onto each glue dot and let them dry completely, these will be the centers of your flowers.
  • Using your fingertip and craft paint, press five petals around each button. Start with one at the top, then add the other four petals spaced around it to form a full flower. Let the paint dry fully.

Step 2: Cut Out the Flowers

  • Once dry, carefully cut around each flower using a wavy or “sticker cut” style to create a decorative edge. Set aside.
  • Cut your kraft-colored bouquet wrap using the printable template. Then cut a 1-inch slit in the center of the wrap and fold each side corner outward to create the bouquet shape. Glue a brown strip behind the wrap edges (but only at the sides) to act as a “faux background” for the stems.

Step 3: Assemble the Background

  • Glue the completed bouquet wrap to the dark primary green cardstock. Then cut and insert lime green stems through the center slit, tucking them into the pocket created by your bouquet wrap.
  • Glue each flower top to the end of a green stem. Spread them out for a nice full bouquet look.
  • Cut out leaves from the lime green cardstock. Fold each one in half gently and unfold for dimension. Glue one leaf per stem (or wherever there’s space) and use a green marker to draw simple lines on the leaves for detail.

Step 4: Tie it Together

Finish your bouquet by tying a small white baker’s string bow and gluing it to the bottom of the wrap where all the stems gather.
