What You’ll Need:
- construction or scrapbook paper
- tissue paper
- straws or pipe cleaners
- scotch tape
- ribbon
- pen or pencil
- scissors
What you do:
1. Trace your child’s hand on the construction paper. Repeat multiple times until you have the desired amount of flowers needed for your bouquet.
2. Once done tracing, cut out outlined hands.
3. Wrap hands around straw and tape into place. Make sure that you tape the hand together and to the straw.
4. Using the pen or pencil you used to trace your child’s hand, curl each finger back to make the petals of the flowers. Repeat on each finger for each hand.
5. Take a piece of tissue paper and fold into half and then into quarters. Lay paper down and fold in one side as shown below. Tape down.
6. Lay flowers in corner of tissue paper and wrap taped side down over the stems. Tape closed.
7. Wrap other side of tissue paper over the stems and tape closed.
8. Cut a piece of ribbon to length and wrap around middle of bouquet.
9. Tie securely with a bow.
And tada! The perfect personalized hand flower bouquet for that special mother or grandmother in your child’s life.
