Great as a spring craft or last-minute Mother's Day gift, these drinking straw and tissue paper flowers from Emily over at are super cute! The best part is, she provides a template for creating the colorful blossoms! No muss, no fuss - just good old fashioned crafting fun!
Supplies You'll Need
- Blossom template
- Regular and decorative craft scissors
- Single paper punch
- Double-sided tape
- Green drinking straws
There are so many uses for these beautiful crafts! Use them in conjunction with a lesson on the parts of a flower. Add a bouquet to your desk for a fun spring accent. Cut the ends of each straw {the 'stems'!} and string the flowers onto a piece of yarn to create a tissue paper flower garland - hanging it around the door, window, or bulletin board. Place several flowers in tissue paper or a vase and send home as a Mother's Day gift. Cut the 'stems' short, adding a safety pin to the back, and send home the custom floral corsage in a wrapped box as a Mother's Day gift.
