Paper Flowers

When the sun comes out, so do the flowers!

Lots of bright, cheery materials for this flower craft!

Paint lots of different colours onto a sheet of bubble wrap...

Then press a piece of card or paper onto it to get the bubbley paint print!

Cover another piece of paper with pva glue...

Then shake on some glitter - Make sure the glitter is set to sprinkle not pour!!!!

Once everything has dried, wrap the tissue roll in the glitter paper and bend to form the flower holder 

Make some holes and poke in pipe cleaners for the stems 

Cut flower shapes from the bubble wrap prints, and then fix to the pipe cleaners with a bit of sticky tape!

Quick and easy and will last longer than a real bunch 🌺

Daffodils

Spring is almost here! The weather is getting nicer, and 20th March was the official start on the calendar...

We made these pictures for mothers day, however they are a great general Spring craft, or even for Easter cards.

This Zebra just loves her hand being painted!!

Stamp four yellow hands to create the outer petals...

...and an orange hand in the middle for the flowers head. Mummy then added a line of green for the stem.

It's not just daffodils, this method could be used to create all sorts of colourful flowers!
