Supply List

Paper plates (one paper plate for each row of pedals)

Brads (one for each flower center)

Yarn or String (used to hang the flowers)

Paints (Your choice of type and colors)

Paint brush (larger ones work best because it covers more area quickly.)

Scissors

Paper Punch

Paint plates the colors you want your flowers.

Cut out a small or large circle for the middle of your flower and paint it the color of your choice.

After your paint dries then fold the plate in the center and then fold it two more times.

Cut out on the edge of the paper plate to make petals (see picture).


I cut some out narrow and the outer edge that was to be used for the flower was cut out with a wider cut.

Paper punch one hole on each end of the pedals and in the circle to be used for the center of the flower. I face all my petals in the same direction with the ridge of the paper plate point in the same direction and punch the holes so all the petals will be facing the same direction.

Take the brad and place the center circle on it so the prongs of the brad are facing towards the back of the circle. Then add each petal until all of them are on the brad. Unfold the brad prongs so the petals don't fall off.

Spread the petals like a fan so the petals are evenly distributed in a circle.
Punch a hole in the top of one of the petals and tie a piece of yarn or string to it for hanging.


Your child can now hang their flowers throughout the house to bring the memory of spring flowers to your winter home. We have one hanging on our refrigerator to remind us that spring is just around the corner.
