TULIPS for Mom



A colorful paper bouquet for Mom. If you prepare two pieces of paper and show the kids how to do it, they could surely manage to make a bouquet of spring flowers for mommy.


You need two pieces of paper – one square for the cup-shaped flower and one rectangular, for the stem. Fold the square one in the middle and then diagonally, then cut the middle folds in half (see pictures)


Put some glue on one side of the cut and overlap with the other one. Glue the four cuts in the same manner – and the cup is ready.



To make the stem, roll the rectangular piece of paper tightly and glue the edge so it would not unfold. Snip the uppermost part several times and fold out to make a base for gluing the cup.
