Making the “Flower Bicycle” composition with your own hands
To create this decorative composition we need:
- A decorative bicycle, which you can purchase in a specialized store, or you can make it yourself, following master classes from the Internet;
- Corrugated paper;
- Styrofoam;
- Toothpicks, glue, glue gun, thread or wire for attaching flowers;
- Decorative elements: tulle, bows, beads, ribbons, homemade beaded flowers, sisal;
First you need to make a small bouquet of flowers from corrugated paper. To do this, you need to cut out a rectangle measuring five by seven centimeters, fold it in half, round one edge and carefully stretch it.
Now you can start making the petals. You need to cut a strip of paper measuring ten by five centimeters and fold it in half twice. Then you need to cut out a petal of the same shape as shown in the photo below, and tuck it a little using an ordinary pen. Next, these petals need to be attached to the bud and secured with wire.
Flowers can be made of any shape and size, and when you have a sufficient number of them, you can begin creating the composition itself. The bottom of the wicker bicycle basket needs to be filled with a piece of foam plastic and flowers made of paper and beads must be secured to it using toothpicks. You can also add green sisal and various elements in the form of decorative bugs and butterflies. Our flower beauty is ready!
Making a bicycle from cocktail straws quickly and easily
To make such a beauty you will need some scrap material and a few hours of free time.
Tools and materials to create this product:
- Straws for cocktails;
- Disposable plastic cup;
- Scissors, toothpicks, cotton swabs, tape;
- Threads, bandage.
For greater clarity, this master class is presented in video photo instructions.
In this master class we will show you how to make an original flower pot with your own hands.
A flowerpot in the shape of a bicycle will be a very unusual decoration for your home or a gift for family and friends.
To create such a beauty with your own hands we will need:
- Wire two to three millimeters wide;
- White tape;
- Four white buttons;
- Moment glue or glue gun.
First, you need to make three circles of different sizes from wire and wrap them with tape. Now you can add curls to them and secure them well.
The same curls should be used to decorate the entire bicycle.
The next step will be to create a basket for our bicycle. It is made using the same technology as the bicycle itself and secured with glue.
All that remains is to make flowers from candies and decorate the product with them.
We create a very cute decorative bicycle with our own hands
To create such a miracle we will need:
- Several cardboard blanks;
- Small wooden stick;
- A piece of thread, toothpick;
- Scissors, glue.
First you need to make a cardboard basket. To do this, you need to glue cardboard strips to the bottom of the product, as shown in the photo below.
And then weave them into a basket.
Using the same method, only without weaving, you need to make three wheels.
Next you need to take a small wooden stick, two strips of cardboard and a thread and use them to make a fork for the future bicycle.
The parts that came out at the end need to be glued together.
The bicycle handlebar is made of cardboard and thread, and is also decorated with some decorative element.
This is what the output should look like:
Let's make a decorative flowerpot-bicycle from twine and aromatic coffee beans
For work we will need:
- Cardboard;
- Straws for cocktails;
- Leg-split;
- Coffee beans;
- Polymer glue;
- Scissors.
Using a compass, you need to draw circles on cardboard, as shown in the photo below, and cut them out using scissors.
Then these blanks must be wrapped with twine.
In the cocktail tube, you need to trim off the excess, leaving about two centimeters from the bend on both sides. You need four of these blanks to make one bicycle wheel. Next, each tube needs to be tightly wrapped with twine.
Now you can assemble the wheels, as shown in the photo below.
Then you need to take two tubes, stretch one, and cut off the top of the other and connect them as in the photo below. Two such blanks need to be wrapped with twine.
The steering wheel must be created by cutting off the upper part of the tube, leaving two centimeters before the bend and three after it. Wrap them with twine.
The next blank for the steering wheel is an eleven-centimeter long tube wrapped with twine.
The wheel should be decorated with coffee beans. It is necessary to insert two blanks into the front wheel and secure them with polymer glue.
You need to insert a straight tube between the rear wheels and secure it with glue.
A piece of tube must be inserted between the upper ones. And wrap the place where they are attached with twine.
The role of a flowerpot here will be played by an empty jar. You can decorate according to your taste.

Step-by-step manufacturing process
We cut out three wheels from cardboard and wrap them with nylon thread.
Cut off the top part of the cocktail tube (about 2 cm from the bend on different sides). To create one wheel you need to prepare 4 blanks. We wrap the tubes with thread.
We assemble the inner part of the wheel and connect both parts together.
We use 2 tubes. We stretch one at the bend, and cut off the upper part of the other, inserting it into the short part of the stretched tube. We wrap all the blanks with thread.
Let's move on to the next stage: creating the steering wheel. Trim the top of the tube (2 cm before the bend and 3 cm after the bend). We connect and wrap with thread.
Let's start assembling the bike. In order to fasten the rear wheels we need an 11 cm tube, we also wrap it with thread. We insert two blanks into the front wheel and glue them with polymer glue. We insert a straight tube between the rear wheels and fix it with glue.
The role of flowerpots will be played by empty food jars or pots for indoor flowers. We glue the pot with nylon thread and glue it to the crossbar on the rear wheels. Fill the pot with flowers. The size of the rose will depend on the width of the satin ribbon.
Keep the tapes horizontal. Fold from the right corner diagonally so that you have about 1.5 cm of ribbon left. Holding the ribbon in your left hand and the folded end in your right, tightly roll the ribbon in a clockwise direction one turn.
Let's make a couple more turns to get the middle of the rose.
Let's make rose petals. Hold the middle of the rose in your right hand. Bend the top edge of the tape back and down with your other hand. Wrap the ribbon once around the middle. Wrap the ribbon around the middle of the rose again. Continue folding the ribbon, making turns and stitches until you have a rose of the desired size.
Cut off the excess ribbon - the rose is ready.
We decorate the bike with sequins and glue a bow to the steering wheel. Our bike is ready!
Jewelry is made using the original flower pot. Such a product will highlight your individuality, become an idea for decorating the interior of your home, or an interesting gift.
Bicycle with flowers
To make a bicycle with flowers, you will need nylon thread. Take cocktail straws, a package of glue, cardboard, and a tool - scissors. Prepare beads, a small pot. To decorate the product, buy ribbons of different colors. You can also use sequins.
Overall, the manufacturing process will take a little time if you follow the instructions.
- First of all, you should cut out three identical wheels, then wrap them with nylon thread.
- You should cut 2 cm from the top of the tube; in the same way, take four blanks to prepare one wheel. Then you also need to wrap it with threads. The four parts need to be connected using glue. Then connect the wheel to this part.
- Prepare two cocktail straws. One part should be stretched, the upper part should be cut off in another tube. Then insert it into the stretched part. The blanks that were made as a result of this process should be wrapped with thread.
- Making the steering wheel. You need to trim the top of the tube, which is about 2 cm before the bend, and also 3 cm after the bend. Then connect the parts and wrap them with thread.
- After this, it’s time to assemble the miniature vehicle. To fasten the rear wheels, take a tube, the length of which is 11 cm.
- Then wrap it with thread. The parts should be fastened together using glue.
Empty jars or small plant pots are used as bicycle flowerpots. They should also be decorated. To do this, they are covered with nylon thread and secured in the area where the rear wheels are located. The pot must be filled with flowers. Depending on the width of the ribbon, you should select flowers. The tapes should be kept horizontal during this process. The wrapping occurs diagonally, leaving 1.5 cm.
Important! A decorative bicycle for flowers will truly become a small masterpiece if you approach the process carefully. To make flowers you need to take ribbons of different shades. You need to wrap the end of the ribbon around the middle until you get a flower of the size you need. Then you should cut off the excess pieces.
Decorate the flower bike with sequins. You can glue a homemade bow to the front.
Flowerpot-bicycle
For this floral composition you will need a wire with a diameter of 3 cm. Prepare a white tape and a thin skewer. For the manufacturing process of the product you will need scissors and pliers.
Wheels are formed from wire. You will need 3 large circles for the front wheel and 6 parts for the two rear wheels. Using tape, the parts are connected, resulting in 3 elements.
The frame for the decorative vehicle is double. Prepare 2 long pieces of wire, in this case 50 cm is enough. After bending, you should wrap them with tape.
Then comes the process of assembling the product. The large front wheel is located in the bend of the handlebar, in the middle of which the frame is attached. Knitting needles can be made in the shape of interesting curls. Three pieces are enough for one wheel.
All elements are attached to each other using tape.
A decorative bicycle is decorated with a basket of flowers. To make a basket you need two circles made in a similar way. Their diameter is equal to the diameter of the front wheel. Special twigs made in the shape of wire curls are attached to the inside of the basket. Eight pieces are enough to decorate a basket.
Then take a ready-made bouquet, or one you prepared yourself to decorate the basket.
Note! Often such miniature bicycles are varnished. This measure will allow the product to serve for a long time without losing its quality properties. The tape will not get dirty after this coating.
You can also change the color of the decorative bicycle itself. Use gold acrylic. With its help you can achieve a bronze effect.
You can make flowers yourself using bead weaving. For this they use French technology. In order for such flowers to stick, they can be attached to foam plastic.

Progress:
1. Take thick cardboard, attach an object that is very similar to a wheel (for example, a reel of adhesive tape), trace it, cut it out. For one wheel you will need 2 pieces of cardboard, they need to be glued together. You need to make 3 of these bases for the wheel.
2. We wrap all the blanks with jute twine.
3. Take a cocktail tube, measure 2 centimeters before and after the bend, cut it off - these will be the bicycle spokes, this is necessary for the stability of the structure. For one wheel you will need 4 blanks. Since there are 3 wheels, 12 pieces need to be made. Then wrap all the pieces with twine.
4. Glue 4 blanks wrapped with twine together using Titan glue, like this.
5. We insert this structure into a circle of cardboard wrapped with twine. The wheel is ready. A bicycle will need 3 of these wheels.
6. Take whole coffee beans and glue one side of the back of a bicycle wheel.
7. Take a cocktail tube, measure 2 centimeters before the bend and 3 centimeters after the bend, cut it off. We will need 2 of these blanks for the steering wheel. Now they need to be connected to each other.
8. We wrap the resulting steering wheel with twine.
9. Take 1 cocktail tube, measure 11 centimeters, such a blank will fasten the rear wheels together.
10. We decorate the edges of the steering wheel that we have and the parts for fastening the rear wheels with small coffee beans.
11. Take one tube, bend it and stretch it where the bend is. You need to cut the tube on the short side, spread a drop of glue and insert the piece left over from the blanks for the wheels into it.
12. We wrap the resulting structure with jute twine. You will need 2 of these blanks.
13. Let's start assembling the bike. We insert a straight tube into the rear wheels using Titan glue.
14. In the front wheel, insert the blanks from points No. 11,12. We glue it for strength. We decorate the front wheel on both sides.
15. We insert a piece of tube 2 centimeters long between the upper tubes and glue it.
16. We wrap what happened with twine.
17. Take a container that will directly serve as a flowerpot (for example, yogurt, butter). Wrap with twine and decorate with coffee beans.
18. Glue the steering wheel and flowerpots. We insert artificial flowers into the flower pots. The flowerpot in the shape of a bicycle is ready.
