Mother’s Day is on Sunday and if your child hasn’t already gotten you something why not let them make you some beautiful flowers that won’t wilt. Paper Flowers are the tried and true classic Mother’s Day gift craft for kids.

• Tissue Papers
• Pipe Cleaners
• Markers

• Cut squares out of the tissue paper making sure that all the squares are of the same size.
• Decorate these tissue papers using the markers or however your child wants (maybe a little glitter?)
• Crinkle the individual pieces of tissue to give flowers a more natural look. After you crinkle lay them lay flat on a table.
• Place the tissue papers on top of each other and fold them into a rectangle. Cut a small v shaped notch in the center of the rectangle.
• Slide in the layers of tissue up the pipe cleaner and twist it around the notch.
• Once all the layers have been pulled, fluff them up for a more natural look.
• Make as many flowers as you want in different colors and sizes to team them up together into a bouquet.
