Simple Flowers with Paper Vase - finished kids' paper flower and vase project Art, art, art... Who wants art, right? Paper projects are one of my favorite pastimes to work on together with my children. It's a thriftier way of having fun together than buying toys.

Total Time: 6 mins.

Supplies:

colored papers
glue
pencil
scissor

Steps:

Using your colored paper, cut a piece in half and fold. This is the stand for the vase for your flowers.

Cut another smaller sized square of paper and glue it to the stand paper, this is a pocket that holds the flowers. Do not put glue on the top edge of the paper, because this is the part where you insert or put your flowers.
