Last fall I planted over 100 tulip bulbs in my front yard and I waited anxiously all winter long for them to emerge from the ground. Guess what? They are all in bloom and they are even more gorgeous than I imagined! Now that it’s spring and all of the beautiful bulbs are in full bloom it’s a perfect time to celebrate spring time with a pretty tulip craft. This paper straw tulip craft is bright and beautiful just like a real tulip and it’s crazy simple to throw together for an afternoon craft.
