Flowers for Mom!

You will need: Construction paper in multiple colors. Green pipe cleaners Scissors Glue, hot glue or glue dots Tissue paper and ribbon (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cut your construction paper into various size petals. The different sizes will allow for different types of
flowers or layering petals for a special look.

2. Cut out several circles for the middle of the flower. 3. Arrange your petals around the middle circle and glue together. 4. Carefully poke a hole in the center of the flower for the piper cleaner to attach through to give the appearance of a stem.

5. Glue a pretty button in the center of the flower for an added touch. If your button holes are large enough
you can thread the pipe cleaner through to attach. You may arrange your flowers in a bouquet and wrap loosely in tissue paper and tie a bow around for an added touch.
