We all love to brighten up our homes with flowers during Spring time. Whether real or fake, flowers make spaces brighter. While I was deciding on Spring crafts to do with the kids, I thought that making flowers would be something fun. Follow the instructions below to make these easy paper flowers.

Directions:

- Cut them out.
- Layer petals, if desired, and glue them with glue stick or Elmer’s liquid glue.
- Optional: Decorate petals with glitter, sequins, etc.
- Turn petals over to back.
- Use the hot glue gun or Elmer’s liquid glue to glue one end of the stick unto the back of the flowers.
- Use more glue to add leaves to the sticks.

Cut out shapes
Trace leaves on green paper freestyle or use a shape cutter if you have one – cut them out
Get all the supplies together including the wooden wooden craft sticks
Overlay flowers by gluing a small round dot or small flower in the middle of a larger one
Optional: If using decorations, add them to the petals now
The kids had fun decorating their petals
A glue stick or liquid glue works perfectly for sticking the decorations
How beautiful are the kids creations
Use Elmer’s liquid glue or glue gun to add petals to the craft sticks. You can always do this before the decorations but I find it easier to add the little sequins etc. before adding the sticks. We left some of them with no decorations.
The flowers are complete once you’ve added decorations and added the petals and leaves to the sticks
