Mothers Day Bouquet

My Grandma bouquet:
Becka, RJ, Sariah
Jonathan, Kayleigh, Jessica,
not pictured; Chris, Austin , Justin and Adrian too.





You will need:
  • Old family photos
  • Construction paper
  • Pipe Cleaners
  • White glue
  • Markers or glitter glue (optional)
  • Flower vase
  • Florist foam or Styrofoam (optional)

Have the kids cut faces from the photos.These will be your photo centers, so they should be roughly circular and about an inch in diameter
Fold a piece of construction paper in half, then draw several flower shapes on one of the folded sides
Cut out the flowers. Don't forget to cut out some leaves
For each flower, lay one flower shape on your work surface, then lay a pipe cleaner over it so that an  inch of the pipe cleaner is on the flower. Spread white glue around the paper edges and press the matching flower shape on top.
Using the same method, glue paper leaves onto the pipe cleaner.
Decorate with markers or glitter glue
Put these flowers in a vase and give to MOM or Grandma for Mothers day.
