Yes, you'll need some pipe cleaners, craft tissue paper, wooden dowels, a pen or pencil, a glue stick, scissors, a ruler, and a hot glue gun.

To make pipe cleaner lavender, measure and cut 5-centimeter pieces of purple pipe cleaners, fold them in half gently to create petals, and glue them onto a craft tissue paper-covered dowel in a layered pattern until the stem is covered. Finish by gently bending and opening the petals for a realistic look.

To attach a leaf to the stem of the lavender flower, take two long green pipe cleaners, fold them in half and intertwine them, then bend them to create a leaf shape. You can either glue them directly to the stem and wrap them with tissue paper or temporarily attach the leaf using another pipe cleaner.

Create a Daisy or chamomile-like flower by taking a short white pipe cleaner, looping it around a pen or pencil to form a spiral, then attach it to a green pipe cleaner as the stem. Make a yellow center by curling a yellow pipe cleaner into a tight spiral, then glue it to the center of the white spiral.

Make a pipe cleaner lily by bending three half-sized pipe cleaners in half to create petals, looping a full-length pipe cleaner through them, twisting it, and shaping it around a dowel. Create a stamen with a yellow pipe cleaner spiral, attach it to the petals, and finish by covering the stem with craft tissue paper.

You would need about 40 to 50 five-centimeter pieces folded in half to create the petals for each lavender flower. The exact number can vary based on the size and fullness desired.

After creating the daisy's white spiral petals, gently bend and adjust each petal to even out the spacing and eliminate any weird gaps, aiming for a balanced and realistic appearance.
