#Project 204: Paper flower gifts
Very often when it's the birthday of a teacher, a neighbour is ill, or I attend a wedding, I find myself not knowing what to give. Flowers are alway a good idea, but when you have such little time to go to the flowershop. You can easily make them yourself along with the kids. Give instant flowers with a small giftag written by the kids. A perfect little present for everyone! Plus it will last for much longer than real flowers.
What you'll need:
* Crepe paper
* skewers
* scissors
* yarn
* glue or double-sided tape
How to make your flower: Cut strips from the crepe paper (approximately 5 cm x 30 cm). Take two different coloured strips and put them together and start to roll gradually (take a look at the picture). Hold the flower in your hand. When your flower is ready, grap the yarn and bind this tidy around the bottom of the flower. Put the skewer in the bottom of the flower.
How to make your stalk: To make the flowerstalk, cut a strip that measures 2 cm x 20 cm from the green crepe paper. Put some glue or double sided tape around the flower and the skewer. Wrap the green crepe paper around the bottom of the flower and the skewer and your flower is ready.
