Step 1: The paper cone
Start with the wrapping paper. Draw a big triangle that points down, then add a gently curved line across the top so it looks like an open cone.
Step 2: The middle tulip
Above the cone, draw a tall cup shape like a rounded shield. Give the top edge two little points with a dip between them.
Step 3: Middle stem and leaves
Draw a straight line down from the bottom of the tulip to the top edge of the cone. Near the bottom of the stem, add two small leaf shapes, one on each side.
Step 4: The side tulips
Draw two more tulip cups, one on the left and one on the right, leaning a little outward. Make them smaller than the middle one.
Step 5: Side tulip stems
From the bottom of each side tulip, draw a long curved line down to the top edge of the cone.
Step 6: The round flowers
Near the left and right edges, draw two wavy circles like cookies with bumpy edges. Make them about the same size.
Step 7: Flower centers and stems
Fill the middle of each round flower with a solid dot. Then draw a short bendy stem from the bottom of each flower to the edge of the cone.
Step 8: The bow
On the front of the cone, draw two loops side by side like bunny ears lying down. Add a small knot where they meet, with two ribbon tails hanging below.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a bouquet of flowers
- Draw the triangle cone first so you know where all the stems will end.
- The wavy flowers are the trickiest part. Draw a plain circle lightly, then bump the line in and out around it.
- For the bow, draw the two loops first and the little knot last, so the loops stay the same size.

Bouquet of flowers fun fact for kids
Tulips keep growing after they are cut and put in a vase. Their stems can bend and stretch toward the light, so a bouquet can look a little different from one day to the next.
