| Quick Flowers In A Basket Decoration |
|
|
Approximate Time: 10-20 minutes
Supplies:
- fake flowers, bunches and singles, at least 1 dozen, at least 3 inches tall
- twisted raffia - about 5 feet
- styrofoam floral cylinder, at least 4 inches wide and 3 inches tall
- glue
Instructions:
Take flowers and poke them into the top of the Styrofoam cylinder, making a pretty arrangement. Let children explore and play with this step, experimenting on what combinations look the best. Adults should play with it a little too!
Glue a piece of twisted raffia on the back of the Styrofoam bottom. Wind raffia around pot, gluing a little as you wind, keeping it tight and fitting. Keep winding until you get to the top of the pot, cut off remaining raffia, then tuck the edge of raffia under the back, glue in place and let dry.
Use as a table or shelf decoration, or make mini-flowers in a basket as card holders, just stick the card onto a toothpick, and into flowers at each place setting.
