Necessary Tools for Pipe Cleaner Crafts

For beginners, you can make pipe cleaner animals without any tools. However, as you advance to more detailed models, you'll need a few basic tools. First, a glue gun and glue sticks will help you securely attach leaves to your flowers. Second, a small pair of scissors will allow you to trim the fuzz, giving your pipe cleaner flowers a more realistic look. Lastly, although optional, using decorations like artificial flower stems can enhance the appearance of your crafts.
