DIY Mother’s Day Hand Flower Bouquet
<<<< I am thinking of doing this with Addie. This is a great craft not only for Mother's Day but for any Spring holiday like Ostara and Beltane. >>>>

What You’ll Need:
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.

Spring Flowers with Origami
Someone gave this to me last year. They are directions to do flowers with origami. It is nice to do with the kids. As I am allergic to flowers, I like the idea of paper flowers. I would take time to experiment on scratch paper before you use your colored paper or tissue paper. During your test runs, take time to figure out what side of paper the kids will color. On some of them you have to color both sides.
The one thing about these flowers are they are just not for Spring. You can use these for Mother's Day and all other Spring Holidays like Ostara, Beltane and Midsummer. I hope you have fun with them.
