For those of us who have quite a bit of wall space exposed, the bottom area near the trim can seem bland and boring. Although it may seem like there’s nothing you can do about it, one of the easiest ways to brighten it up is to put some paper flowers in that space. It’s super easy to make and is the perfect project to do with kids.

What you’ll need:

Step 1. To make a tulip, cut a stem and leaves from green cardstock. The bottom of it must be flat so it can line up with the trim or floor.

Step 2. Cut a tulip head from any color cardstock you wish. The head should be proportionate to the stem and leaves you made.

Step 3. Use Mod Podge to glue the tulip head to the top of the stem.

Step 4. Use green glitter glue to draw lines on the leaves to differentiate where the different leaves are and to show where the center lines are on the leaves.

Step 5. Use glitter glue that’s the same color as your tulip head to show the lines of the petals. Give all the glue ample time to dry before moving it.

Step 6. Test the double-sided tape to make sure it won’t pull the paper or paint off the wall before moving onto the next step.

Step 7. Put tape on the back of the flower, then line it up to the floor or trim.

Step 8. Make more flowers and line them up next to the first one or overlap them to make them look like a field of flowers along the trim. If you choose, you can even just put up single tulips randomly around your home.
