This cute craft is a perfect Mother's Day gift. It's easy, inexpensive, and looks great hanging on the wall. There
also is a good chance that you already have most of the supplies at home!
Directions
1 Cut out individual egg placements from an egg
carton for the flowers. The egg cartons will have to be
rounded to look like flower petals.
2 Use your choice of paint for the flowers and paint
the individual flower shaped egg cartons.
3 Once they are all painted and dried, glue buttons in
the center of the flowers. Then glue the flowers on the
canvas in a bouquet format.
4 Glue the pipe cleaners that are tied with a
ribbon or twine onto the canvas to look like
stems for the flowers.
5 If you would like to create a fun background,
use the extra paint and create designs or pictures
to make the canvas more exciting.
