    Flower Wreaths

    (Ages 3-16)

    Take advantage of the lushness of spring to create flower wreaths — just in time for Mother’s Day! This project would work just as well with fake or store bought flowers and greens.

  • Visual aid of how to complete Candle Art Transfer

    You can transform any plain candle into a personalized candle for mom. We added lots of flower, hearts, and Mother’s Day phrases to our candles! What does your mom like?

  • Visual aid of how to complete Coffee Filter Hydrangeas

    Coffee filters are always in our art cabinet. There are so many ways you can create with them. I think what we like best about working with them is the way they absorb watercolors. It really is so beautiful. On this day we were feeling inspired by our favorite flower, hydrangeas.

      Craft foam or repurposing leftover styrofoam works well with this project. These DIY stamps are great for art, making tiles, cards… wherever your kids’ imaginations take them! Perfect for homemade Mother’s Day cards.
