Photo Flower Bouquet

This simple spring craft makes for a sweet gift to give to family members.

You’ll Need:

• Yellow (or pastel) poster board
• Coloured construction paper
• Glue stick
• Glitter
• Scissors
• Crayons/markers
• Print outs (or photos) of your child’s face cut in a circle
• Sturdy twigs from outside
• Tape

How to Make

1. Cut out large flower shapes using the poster board (as many flowers as you have photos of the kids). Make sure the flowers are larger than the photos.



2. Cut out a similar flower shape in a contrasting colour of construction paper. These should be smaller than the poster board flowers, but larger than the photos.
3. Let the kids add their own colour to the larger (and smaller) flowers using markers or crayons.



4. Glue the centre of a construction paper flower to the centre of a yellow flower, making sure that the ‘petal’ part of the construction paper flower is not glued on.



5. Glue the pictures of the kids to the middle of the flower. If you choose, get some white glue and mix with glitter. Using a small sponge or a damp piece of paper towel, dab into the glitter glue and then stamp it onto the flower and photo. Let the flowers dry.



6. Fold a sheet of green construction paper in half length-wise and cut out leaf shapes so that the bottom of the leaf is along the fold (see image).



7. Wrap leaves around the twigs. Glue the leaves together in the middle. Let the ‘stems’ dry.
8. When both are ready, tape the twig to the back of the flower then fold over the construction paper petals to give it a 3D appearance.



9. Place the ‘stems’ into a pot of earth and present as a spring or Easter bouquet.
