Supplies:
Wooden skewers
Crepe paper streamers
Floral tape
Craft glue
Directions:
1. For shorter stems, break skewers in half. Add a dollop of glue at the top of the stick, and wrap the crepe paper around. To make the flower head, wrap the crepe paper around, and pinch and glue as you go. Continue to wrap around until you have your desired fullness.
2. Tear off a piece of streamer for the leaves. Wrap the floral tape around the base of the flower head, insert leaves in the middle of the stem, then continue wrapping all the way down the stem.
Make a bunch and put together a small bouquet for Mother’s Day gifts. Maybe add a little note that reads, “Roses are red, violets are blue, if you were a flower, I’d definitely pick you!”
If you need more ideas, here are some we’ve made in the past… gifts made from kid art, clay necklace, pin-on paper flower corsage, or make a giant Mother’s Day posters.
