Paper Confetti Field of Flowers – Kid Craft Idea For Spring
One of these days I’m going to mark off my bucket list “taking pictures of a field full of beautiful flowers.”
I want the rolling hills backdrop {maybe even mountains with snowy peaks} and the brightest, fullest flowers you have ever seen.
A girl can dream big, right? I also have big dreams to blow up those pictures I take and place them front in center in my dream craft room – but that’s whole ‘nother story!
Anyways… till then, I dream of paper flower tutorials for Glued To My Crafts instead.
Today’s latest idea popped in my head last night and today I HAD to make it happen! With the help of DailyArtHub and their awesome graphics, I was able to pull this DIY together for you all, within minutes!
All you need is paper {paper scraps are perfect} the free printable, a glue stick and a hole punch. That’s it! Doesn’t that sound easy to pull together? I sure hope so!
So what are you waiting for?! Help your child make their own creative field of flowers today! With the minimal steps and supplies, you can join in on the fun as well! On that note, may I even encourage you to frame the one-of-a-kind artwork you and your child make, so you can enjoy them for years to come? I’m sure your pieces are going to be masterpieces!

Field of Flowers Craft Supplies:

- Single Hole Punch {affiliate link}
- Small Bowl or Dish
- Purple Elmer’s Glue Stick {affiliate link}
Directions:
- First things first – download our free “field of flowers” printable listed above.
- Print it in color through your home printer on a single sheet of white computer paper. You only need one print per craft. Print as many as you like but only use this file for personal use please!
- Depending on your printer settings, before you move forward with the craft, you might need to trim off some excess white around the printable. Use paper scissors or a trimmer to do that. Once done with that step, the printable will be slightly smaller.
- Go ahead and now glue that piece to another sheet of paper. This will frame the design nicely and make it a bit sturdier :-) Set it aside.
- Now grab your various sheets of colored paper and the single hole punch.
- Go ahead and hole punch a good amount of “circles” that will later be your flowers. You will need a lot of paper punches, so go to town on this step! A good tip is to do the hole punching over a small bowl, to keep the paper circles contained till you need them.
- Next up, grab your purple glue stick and make thick lines of glue on the grassy area in the printable. I like the purple glue stick for this step because you can see where you are placing down the adhesive but it later dries clear.
- Now, working pretty fast, you are going to want to sprinkle, dump and rub your paper hole punches ALL over the glue, to make “flowers” in the field. Keep adding more glue and paper circles until you have the look you like.
- Shake off excess pieces and set aside to let it dry completely.
- Then display proudly your colorful paper field of flower piece for all to see!
MAKE IT YOUR OWN TODAY!
- Instead of using paper hole punches like I did in today’s field of flowers kid craft tutorial, you can also dip your finger or a clean qtip into various shades of craft paint and then make “dotted prints” in the provided grassy area instead. Repeat until you have that desired look, in a different craft medium! Super fun!!!
