Kinda funny that I am posting these flowers after getting 4 inches of snow last night.....no April fool's joke here.....But since I don't have flowers outside, why not make some for inside your house?!
Here is what you need:
empty tuna or chicken cans, easter grass, floral foams, wooden dowels, paper and a circle punch, adhesive
Press the floral foam right into the can (no need to pre-cut it), add the wooden dowel to the middle, cover the can with a strip of paper then add grass.
To make the flowers:
punch out 8 circles(use double sided paper), fold in each side to the middle, put them together and then adhere a circle (that is just bigger then the circle you used for the pedals) to the front and to the back. Tape or glue the flower to the wooden dowel then add some ribbon for the leaves.
You can use any size circle punch, just depends on how big you want your flowers.
Change it up a bit : top the dowels with paper eggs or I will be changing mine out with caterpillars that I made for my daughters upcoming birthday party.....next week!!
OR make the flowers then add a magnet to the back and dress up your fridge for spring!
Have fun with it!
Have a great Easter Weekend everyone and don't forget to
