Kids won't need a green thumb to create these lilies, only the outline of their hand. Create several to form a bouquet to adorn your Easter table.
Approximate Time: About 1 hour
Supplies:
- white card stock
- green construction paper
- yellow chenille stem
- green straw
- transparent tape
- pencil
- scissors
- hole punch
Instructions:
- Draw around your child's hand onto a piece of white card stock, or similar weight paper. Cut out the shape.
- Cut two double leaves from construction paper and punch a hole in the center of each where the leaves meet (refer to photo).
- Curl the paper fingers and leaves by wrapping them around a pencil.
- Wrap the hand around the top of a green plastic straw, with curled fingers facing outward, and secure it with tape.
- Slide the leaves onto the straw from the bottom and tape them in place.
- For the flower's center, fold half of a yellow chenille stem in half and curl down the ends.
- Insert the folded end into the straw. Add a little glue, if necessary, to hold in place.
