Paper and Button Flowers

How we did it:
Materials List
- paper
- buttons
- pipe cleaners
- scissors
- glitter glue (optional)
- hole punch (optional)
-
Glitter glue isn't necessary for this project, but it's such a simple craft that it only adds to the fun!
-
Madeleine got right to it. The first thing to do was to cut out a flower head shape. You can draw it first, or not, as you like.
-
Next she put a hole in the center with a hole punch. If you don't have one, just poke a small pencil-hole in the center.
-
Maddie chose a button, and threaded it onto the pipe cleaner. Up through one hole, and down through the second...
-
...on goes the flower!
-
To make shaped flowers, we cut out flowers and cut a slit in one side.
-
We punched the center hole with a hole punch. Then we overlapped the cut sides and glued them together with a glue stick.
-
On went the button, and through the flower as before. You may to choose to glue together the paper and button, or it may stay in place without gluing.
-
Some of them got a sparkly finish with glitter glue!
-
We couldn't resist making a whole handful of these cheerful beauties!
