Cotton Pad Daisies: Easy Flower Craft for Mother's Day
Servings: 0
Ingredients
- Cotton pads
- Stapler
- Construction paper (various colors)
- Glue
- Markers
Instructions
- Take a cotton pad and fold the bottom part slightly to create a tapered end. Use a stapler to secure this fold. Repeat this process until you have six petals for each flower. For this project, let’s make three flowers, so you will need 18 petals in total.
- Arrange your folded cotton pads in a circular pattern to form the shape of a daisy. Attach the petals to each other with glue at the base to keep them in place.
- Cut circles from a piece of construction paper—choose a color that contrasts nicely with the white cotton pads, like yellow or orange or pink. These circles should be large enough to cover the center of your daisy. Glue these circles to the center of each flower to complete the daisies.
- Cut three strips from green construction paper to make the stems. Arrange these strips so they meet at one point at the bottom, mimicking the way a bouquet is gathered.
- Cut a strip of pink construction paper. Fold the ends of the strip back to the center and secure them with a stapler to create a bow shape. Glue this bow where the stems meet to add a decorative touch.
- Cut out a banner from either pink or blue construction paper. Using a marker, write “Happy Mother’s Day” on it in clear, bold letters. Attach this banner to your bouquet.
