More Spring Crafts

As far as I’m concerned, spring has sprung. The sun is shining, the temperature is warmer and the birds are chirping. Something is missing though. The flowers aren’t blooming . . . yet. So I decided my girls and I would make our own spring flowers to tide us over until Mother Nature has time to catch up!

Here’s What You Need to Make Spring Flowers:

• Construction paper (Use whatever color you want your flowers to be!)
• Scissors
• Egg carton
• Green chenille stems

Here’s How to Make Spring Flowers:

1. Cut flower petals from the construction paper. To save on cutting, it’s easier to fold the paper into thirds before cutting out the petals.

2. Cut out one section of the egg carton for the center of the flower.

3. Poke the end of a chenille stem through the center of the individual egg carton and then bend the end of the chenille stem to secure it to the egg carton.

4. Poke the other end of the chenille stem through a flower petal cut from the construction paper and move the petal along the chenille stem until it touches the egg carton. Repeat this step for each flower petal. We put eight petals on our flowers, but anywhere between five and eight petals works.

So although the flowers haven’t bloomed outside, they can bloom inside with this spring craft! If you’re looking for more spring crafts, check this out!
