Here's a quick last minute Mother's day gift perfect for any Mom or Grandma!!
Supplies - all bought at my local dollar store!
Supplies:
(1) piece of card stock for the flower (this will be the colored piece to trace your child's hand on)
(1) green piece of card stock - this you will use for the stem and leaves
(1) dollar store vase of your choice!.. Yes, I said Dollar store!
paint- I bought my paint at the dollar store
paint brushes - I used left over brushes from watercolor sets
Mother's Day Flower Vase
- Have your child paint the vase however they want! There is no right way to this!
- Let the vases dry
The artist at work!
Notice both times I tried to get her working she was playing in the paint water!
- trace your child's hand on the colored piece of card stock
- cut your child's hand out
- take your green card stock piece and cut in half
- take one half and roll the paper to make the stem
- use the other half to cut your leaves out. You will want to adjust your leaves according to your child's hand size.
- Take the hand cut and pinch the bottom of the hand to make the flower
- staple the hand to the stem piece
- cut out your leaves and staple the leaves around the hand.
** all of my pieces I just stapled to the stem or flower**
Trace your child's hand
